Using The NRSV Daily Bible

Today’s Reading

4/4/2019     Day 94 1 Chronicles 17:1 – 22:1

Reflection |
Background
Background by Center of Biblical Studies. Background by
Chabad.org | 1 & 2 Kings were artificially divided with the LXX (Latin
Septuagint)  and should bread as one book.

The detailed listing of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
The Chronicles are written as one book; written by an anonymous
Person after most of the Hebrew Bible is written. The book has
3 sections
1 Chr 1 - 9 = genealogies
1 Chr 10 - 2 Chr 9 = the United Monarchy
2 Chr 10 - 36 = history of the Judahite Monarchy
Today
Chapter 17 - God makes promises to King David: Your line will rule
forever and one of your descendants will build the Temple. Concludes
With a prayer.
Chapter 18 - The kingdom is expanded. So David ruled over all Israel -
V 14.
Chapter 19/20 - David goes to war and wins
Chapter 21 - Satan incited David to take a census/military draft. God
Is NOT pleased; David asks for forgiveness. Varies plagues hit Israel.
David and God are fighting and David is afraid of making an error.
+++
Meditation/Contemplate:

Note the interaction of God and David when they are not getting along.
Prayer:
O God, forgive me when I fight your will. Humble me a sinner. Amen.

heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore
give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and
 reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

  2024 Read the Bible in a Year April 2, 2024 Tuesday of Easter Week Readings for Today: Day 91 - 1 Chronicles 1:1 - 9:44 See the animated overview of the Chronicles above. Prayer: Loving God, dissolve the barriers of suspicion that divide us from one another. Fill us with your love that casts out fear. Clothe us in your light and grace, that we may be agents of hope and encouragement for those who despair and have lost their way. Help us each find our particular way to proclaim the good news of your saving love in our daily lives and work. We pray that our government and leaders at every level of authority may be strengthened to heal the structures that bruise your people. God, hear our prayers. Amen (All Saints Episcopal Church - Pasadena prayers - 27 Oct 2019 worship) Reflection:  Today’s reading is everything you wanted to know about the genealogy from Adam to the return of leaders from the Exile. It is interesting reading that we can directly follow God's work via each pe...

Parables - New Wineskins

Dear Friends, Grace and peace from our loving God. Let us pray … Kindle in our hearts, O God, the flame of love that never ceases, that it may burn in us, giving light to others. May we shine forever in your temple, raging set on fire with your eternal light, even your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen A Celtic Liturgy - Morning Prayer, p. 21;  Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2008, ed. Today’s Parable - Wineskins / Luke 5:37 Jesus in this scene is having a party with known sinners after the conversion of a tax collector. Some religious people are critical of this action. They point to the disciples of John the Baptist and whose piety is fasting and prayer and why is Jesus not doing it their way. Kendall points to this parable of Jesus as a calling of established and mature religious people to create themselves as new wineskins for new wine.
