April 8

Today's Reading

Happy Easter! He is risen!

Deuteronomy. I wonder what it was like for Moses to climb Mount Nebo, knowing that he was going there to die. He was "real" to the end; he cried out to God for another chance, then accepted God's will. I never considered it before, but isn't that similar to what Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane?

Luke. I was reminded that one of the hardest things about the Gospel is its divisive nature. It's not that Christ's followers should try to be divisive among those they love. We need to love unconditionally, but stand for the truth. When we do that, others will often separate themselves from us because they don't want to face the truth. Still, we are to love them.

Psalms. Oh, that we would let Jesus perform His work in us and grow us in stability and faithfulness.

Proverbs. True leadership is acquired by hard work, not just by extreme natural skills.

What are your thoughts today? Do you have questions?
