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 

After mourning their father for 70 days
Joseph and his brothers  went to Canaan and buried  Jacob there.
Many of Pharaoh's officials went with Joseph to Canaan.

When the group returned to Egypt,
Joseph's brothers again asked him to forgive them
for selling him as a slave.

Joseph replied "God has turned this evil into good,
and through me has helped many people.
So do not be afraid.
I will provide for you and your families".

Joseph lived to see his children's children.
Before he died, he asked that his bones one day
be taken back to Canaan.   

Dear God, thank you for the beautiful story of Joseph

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let your face shine its light upon us.

Let all the peoples praise you, O God.
Let all the peoples praise you.

O sing to the Lord, make music to his name.
Rejoice in the Lord, exult at his presence.

Father of the orphan, defender of the widow,
God provides a shelter for the homeless.

God gives his people strength.

May all the peoples of the earth know you and praise you, O God

Some Jewish leaders arrived from Pisidian Antioch and Iconium.
They turned the people of Lycaonia against Paul and Barnabas

The people stoned Paul and, thinking he was dead,
dragged him outside the town

The disciples gathered around Paul's body. As they did so, he stood up. 
The next day he and Barnabas went to the town of Derbe

After Derbe, they went back to Pisidian Antioch via Lystra and Iconium. 
In each place they encouraged the believers to persevere in the faith, 
especially during difficult times in their lives

In each place they also appointed elders to be church leaders

Eventually Paul and Barnabas arrived back in Syrian Antioch, 
where they gave an account of how God had opened the door of faith
to non-Jewish people

Jesus, please help me persevere in the faith, like Paul and Barnabas

Once after Jesus had been healing and teaching many people all afternoon,
 his disciples said to him "It's getting late and the people need to go and eat".

Jesus replied "They don't need to go. You feed them".
The disciples replied "We have only 5 loaves and 2 fish".

Jesus got the people to sit on the grass.
There were about 20,000 of them.
Then he blessed the loaves and fish.

He handed the loaves and fish to his disciples.
His disciples gave them to the crowd.

Everyone had plenty to eat.
They even had 12 baskets of leftovers.

Jesus, please make leaders do more to help  the starving people of the world
