2CHRONICLES 2-3:
In
yesterday’s reading we returned to the books of Chronicles, and
picked up the story following King David, with the beginning of
Solomon’s reign. Solomon gave 1,000 burnt offerings to the Lord,
then the Lord appeared to him. Solomon requested wisdom to rule
Israel, and the Lord was pleased with his request.
PROVERBS 26b:
Today’s highlighted verse:
Pro. 26:23 GNT Insincere talk that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glaze on a cheap clay pot.
MATTHEW 8:
We
completed reading the Sermon on the Mount yesterday with the
parable of building a house on sand or on a rock. Building a house
on sand is easier. But let’s be those who persevere and lay a good
foundation.
GNT Translation
notes:
Mat. 8:10 When
Jesus heard this, he was surprised and said to the people following
him, “I tell you, I have never found anyone in Israel with [full
belief (in Me)]//faith] like this.
20
Jesus answered him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but
[I,] the Son of Man[, have//has] no place to lie down and
rest.”
26
“Why are you so frightened?” Jesus answered. “[How little you
believe in Me!//What little faith you have!]” Then he got up and
ordered the winds and the waves to stop, and there was a great
calm.
30 [Not far away[, a large herd of pigs were
feeding.//there was a large herd of pigs feeding.]
