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 

The Israelites arrived at Kadesh in the desert of Zin.
They had no water, and complained bitterly to Moses and Aaron.

Moses and Aaron pleaded with God for help.
God told Moses to hit a rock with a branch
and in this way order the rock to give water.

Water did in fact flow when Moses hit the rock,
but through lack of faith Moses hit it twice.

So God said to Moses and Aaron:
"Because you did not fully trust me,
therefore you will not lead the people 
to the promised land".

When the Israelites moved on from Kadesh,
they asked the Edomites for permission to go through their land.
But the Edomites refused this request.

Later,  on Mount Hor, Aaron died 
and was succeeded as High Priest by his son Eleazar

Dear God, please increase our trust in you

I thank you, Lord, with all my heart.
You have heard the words of my mouth.

With the angels I will bless you.
I will adore you in your holy temple.

I thank you for your faithfulness and love
which are far above what we can understand.

On the day I called you answered.
You increased the strength of my soul.

All earth's kings shall thank you
when they hear the words of your mouth.

They shall sing of the Lord's ways:
"How great is the glory of the Lord!"

Though I walk in the midst of affliction
you give me life and frustrate my foes.

Your love, O Lord, is eternal.
Do not abandon us whom you have made. 

Lord, when we remember how much you love us and help us, 
every day of the year is a Thanksgiving Day

Be a good citizen. Respect all civil authorities.
Authority comes from God and is answerable to God

Don't break laws. Live honestly.
Fulfill your obligations as a citizen. Pay your taxes.

Jesus, please help me be a good citizen

A prayer hall official, Jairus, fell at Jesus' feet and pleaded
"My little daughter is dying. Please come and lay your hands on her and save her life".

While Jesus was on the way to Jairus' home,  people arrived and told Jairus
"Your daughter is dead. No need to trouble the Master any further".

Jesus heard this and said to Jairus "Do not be afraid. Just have faith".
Jesus allowed only Peter, James and John to go with him.

At Jairus' home, everyone was weeping and wailing.
Jesus said to them "Why all this crying? The child is not dead, but asleep".
Everyone laughed at him.

So he got them all to leave. Then taking the girl's parents and his 3 companions,
he went to the place where the child was lying.

Taking the girl by the hand he said to her "Little girl, I tell you to get up".
The little girl got up at once.  She was 12 years old.

Jesus, please give us more faith to pray for the sick
....even for children who have died!
