Reflecting on the Daily Office readings for today. Opening Sentence Jesus said, "If anyone will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." + Mark 8:34 Prayer Sites | Click here | Pray daily!

Genesis 44 Judah pleas before his unknown brother Joseph now governor of Egypt to take him as a slave rather than his brother Benjamin for his elderly father Jacob would die at the news. 1 Corinthians 7 Paul's eschatology assumes Jesus is coming again like the day after tomorrow - very soon - so there is no need for keeping the conventions of culture like marriage for they will all pass away when Jesus comes again.

Read |  Day 214 | Sunday | August 2 | Habakkuk 1: 1, 2-4, 5-11, 12– 2: 1  Habakkuk 2: 2-20  Habakkuk 3: 1-19  Zephaniah 1: 1, 2-18  Zephaniah 2: 1-3, 4-7  Date: Habakkuk and Zephaniah's  ministry occurred some time before the fall of Judah - 612 BC. Background | Habakkuk -  We know nothing about Habakkuk other than he lived at a time of Babylonian aggression against Judah. Babylon’s capture of Jerusalem is not mentioned in this book, which suggests that Habakkuk’s prophecies deal with a time in the late sixth century BC, before the fall of Jerusalem was in the picture. The book is three chapters long. The first two chapters consist of an oracle that Habakkuk saw (1:1). Habakkuk laments the injustice of Judah’s leaders in perverting justice and calls on God to do something about it. God informs Habakkuk that God will send the Babylonians in to attack Judah as a punishment for its wickedness. More from Center of Biblical Studies ...
