Computer Cud            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 

Jacob and his whole family, about 70 people,
took all their possessions and moved to Egypt.

God said to Jacob "I myself will go down to Egypt with you".

Joseph was ready for their arrival in Egypt.
As soon as his father appeared, Joseph ran to greet him.
Joseph threw his arms around his father
and cried for a long time on his father's shoulder.

Jacob said to Joseph
"Now that I have seen you again,
I can die in peace".    

Dear God, please help separated family members  to be re-united again

Lord, I will tell everyone about how good you are.
You are our Creator. Everyone should love you.

Thank you for so often rescuing me from trouble.
You uphold my life.

Sometimes I have so many troubles and cares
that I can't get to sleep.

Sometimes I wish I was a bird 
and could fly away to a safe place.

When I fear, I will trust in you,
in you whose word I praise.

My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready.
I will sing, I will sing your praise.

Each morning I will sing of your strength,
and each morning acclaim your love.

O God, please help me to praise and love you every day

Paul and Barnabas went to another city, Iconium.
As usual, their first stop was the local Jewish prayer hall. 
Many Jews became believers, as did many non-Jewish people

During their stay in Iconium, Paul and Barnabas preached fearlessly for the Lord. 
And the Lord supported them by allowing miracles to be worked by them

But their success again aroused opposition, 
and they were in danger of being stoned. 
So they went to Lycaonia and preached the Good News there

Jesus, please help Gospel workers by allowing miracles to be worked by them

One day Jesus went to Nazareth, his home town.
In the prayer hall there he taught the local people.

But the local people would not accept him.
They said "Where did he get such  wisdom and miraculous power?
He is just a carpenter's son. His mother is that woman called Mary.

His brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Jude.
His sisters are here, too.  He's nobody special."

Jesus said to them
"A prophet is despised only in his own country and his own house.".

And he did not work many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

Jesus, please give me more faith in you ....and don't let me reject people
