Today’s Scripture Reading

Give your love of justice to the king, O God, and righteousness to the king’s son. Help him judge your people in the right way; let the poor always be treated fairly.

May the king’s rule be refreshing like spring rain on freshly cut grass, like the showers that water the earth.

He will rescue the poor when they cry to him; he will help the oppressed, who have no one to defend them.

Psalm 72:1-2, 6, 12


Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?

Amos 3:3


Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see.’ So the servants brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike, and the banquet hall was filled with guests.

Matthew 22:9-10


Today’s Meditation

What God may hereafter require of you,
you must not give yourself the least trouble about.

Everything He gives you to do,
you must do as well as ever you can.

That is the best possible preparation
for what He may want you to do next.

If people would but do what they have to do,
they would always find themselves ready for what came next.

George MacDonald
