My Mini-Bible Study for 2019
Read the Bible in a Year

Using The NRSV Daily Bible

Today’s Reading

3/8/2019      Day 67 1 Samuel 13:1 – 15:35

Reflection:

Background by Center of Biblical Studies. Background by
Chabad.org.  Samuel was one book and should be read that way.

Saul wars with the Philistines; Saul sins and is rejected by God;
The war continues.

Meditation/Contemplate:

Keep faith and being in relationship with God.

Prayer:

O Lord our Governor, whose glory is in all the world: We commend
this nation to thy merciful care, that, being guided by thy Providence,
we may dwell secure in thy peace. Grant to the President of the United
States, the Governor of this State (or Commonwealth), and to all in
authority, wisdom and strength to know and to do thy will. Fill them
with the love of truth and righteousness, and make them ever mindful
of their calling to serve this people in thy fear; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God,
world without end. Amen. (BCP)

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and
forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and
contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and
acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all
mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen. (BCP)
