Today's Reading
Leviticus. Leprosy and similar diseases were a constant danger. An outbreak could virtually consume this nation and God gave instructions on what to watch out for. In their system, the priests were the ones to determine if something was a contagious skin disease or not. Lepers became social outcasts. But Jesus had compassion for them. We must similarly care for those our culture has cast away.
Mark. An unbelieving hometown, success coupled with resistance as disciples go on the road, as well as a jealous queen and wimpy king: these all make up the high drama of today's passage. I thought about John's beheading in light of the horrible acts of terror we hear of today. Surely, John saw the death blow coming and yielded himself to the Lord. Would I do the same?
Psalms. When we experience difficulty, God has a purpose in it! We may never understand why we must go through the trials,but we must trust that God is faithful.
Proverbs reminds me to not take sin lightly.
What are these Scriptures saying to you today?
