Morning
Prayer
Psalm
89: 1 – 18
This
section of the psalm praises God for faithfulness and steadfastness in all
generations, for the creation of the earth and the victory over chaos. Happy
are the people who sing praises and walk in God’s pathway.
Jeremiah
22: 1 – 19
Jeremiah
prophesies that unless the Kings of Judah repair their ways, particularly
Jehoiakim, Jerusalem will be destroyed and they will be exiled. Already
Jehoahaz is imprisoned in Egypt where he will die. Jehoiakim’s death will be
undignified.
Luke
10: 1 – 12
Jesus
instructs and sends out 70 people to go ahead of him. On their mission they are
to greet people with peace and if rejected, stay calm – their peace will return
to them. They are to stay in one place when welcomed and humbly accept the food
they are given, cure the sick and proclaim the Kingdom. If they are not
welcomed they are to leave and leave all remnants of the town behind: that is
sufficient protest.

Evening
Prayer
Psalm
89: 19 – 38
This
section of the psalm states the unalterable covenant with David and his line
forever even if the children violate God’s laws, the relationship with David
will continue.
Genesis
35: 1 – 15
Jacob
is told to go to Bethel. He does so and insists that his family hand over all symbols
of other Gods and he buries the objects at Shechem. God appears to Jacob and
says his name was now Israel and that his offspring will become a nation and a
company of nations.
Jude 1 - 16
Jude
warns of false teachers and false members of the church. Jude instructs that we
are not to be drawn in to mentioning people’s errors and being guilty of
slander. The false ones are likely to grumble, be dissatisfied and bombastic in
their speech, self-indulgent and flatter others.

Almighty God, you love us and care
for us and guide us. Help us to seek you first, to trust in you and to keep
your peace in our hearts. We acknowledge that the world is full of pain and
that in our congregations and families are full of real humans with the full
range of human struggles. Help us every day to lead peaceful, loving lives to your
praise and glory through Jesus Christ or Lord. Amen.
