V 2 asks us to read the Bible every day,   'to have a burning love'   for the Word of God              Resolution

This plan follows the Sunday liturgy:    reading + psalm + reading + gospel            From www.simplebible.info 

O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today. 
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, courage and peace for my daily life 

God blessed and protected Isaac all his life.

When Isaac grew old and was nearly blind,
he followed the usual custom 
of giving his final blessing to his sons.

He wanted to bless Esau first,
since Esau was his older son.

But Rebecca and Jacob tricked Isaac.

Jacob dressed in  Esau's clothes
and put hairy animal skins on his arms.

Before Esau came home, 
Jacob asked for Isaac's blessing.

Isaac said "Your voice is that of Jacob,
but your arms and scent are those of Esau.
Are you really Esau?"

Jacob said "I am."
Isaac then gave him his solemn blessing.

When Esau found out what had happened,
he was very angry and planned to kill Jacob.

So Rebecca got Jacob to go to Haran 
until Esau's anger cooled down.

Dear God, please bless everyone in my family

May all hearts open their doors to the Lord.
Let him enter, the king of glory.

Lord I hope in you all the day long.
Forgive my sins and help me walk in your truth.

God my savior, teach me your way of truth

When the leaders had their big meeting later that same morning, they sent for the apostles to be brought from prison

The police went to the prison, then came back and reported to the leaders "We found that the prison was properly locked, and the guards were on duty. But when we unlocked the door, there was no one inside"

Then a man arrived at the meeting with the news "At this very moment, the men you imprisoned are now in the Temple preaching to the people"

The police again arrested the apostles and brought them to the meeting

When the main religious leader reminded them of his previous warning not to preach, Peter and the apostles replied "Obedience to God comes before obedience to men.
God  raised Jesus up to be the Savior. We are witnesses to this, we and the Holy Spirit whom God gives to those who obey him"

This made the leaders so angry that they wanted to kill the apostles

Jesus, please help me put obedience to you
before all other obediences

Jesus was so tired that he went to sleep in the boat.
Then a sudden storm caused big waves to lash the boat.

Jesus' friends woke him up  and said
"Save us, Lord, we are sinking".

Jesus stood up, and ordered the wind and sea to be calm.
Straight away the wind and sea were calm.

Jesus' friends said to each other
"Who is this? Even the wind and sea obey him."

Jesus, please calm the storms
 in my life, my family, our world
