Ps. 78:1–39; Ps. 78:40–72; Lev. 26:1–20; 1 Tim. 2:1–6; Matt. 13:18–23

Psalm 78
The story of salvation and the lack of faith in God's wondrous works; God fed them in the wilderness and yet they forgot; they remembered and God forgave them.

1 Timothy 2
Paul writes pray for everyone in every way; God desires everyone to be saved.

Matthew 13
Jesus explains the parable of the sower to the disciples; path = does not understand; rocky = no depth; weeds = word is choked by the cares of the world; good = yields many and great things.

Tomorrow

Ps. 68:1–20; 2 Kings 2:1–15; Rev. 5:1–14 - Eve of the Ascension


O God, giver of all things, I thank you this day for ...
... the faith you gave me and salvation so we may have a relationship
... my family to hold and walk with me on this earthly journey
... for the Church/the Body of Christ/the communion of saints/forgiven sinners
... for you - Creator, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit forever
... for the Universe and all that is in it
... for everything you give me for life - air, health, employment/retirement, recreation,
... for my ministry in your Kingdom, outside my door, and around the world
... for those today persecuted for the faith
... for the poor and all those in need today
... for those things I don't realize or the protection you give me
I thank you, O Lord 
Amen
