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 Sacred Chest of the Lord was in Philistine territory for 7 months.

Then the Philistines put the Chest on a cart pulled by 2 milch cows.

The cows went straight to the Israelite town of Beth-shemesh,
without anyone leading them.

The people of Beth-shemesh were overjoyed to see the Sacred Chest.

Dear Lord, thank you for the joy in our hearts
which comes from friendship with you

O Lord,  Judge of the earth,
how long will the wicked crush the poor?

The wicked say "God does not hear".
But can he who made the ear, not hear?

Blessed are those whom the Lord teaches.
The Lord gives them peace in troubled times.

When cares increase in my heart,
God's consolation calms my soul.

Lord, when cares and troubles increase, 
please  help us to trust in you.

Avoid anything in your everyday lives that would be unworthy of the Good News of Christ

Be united in your convictions, and united in your love.
There must be no competition among you, no conceit

Everyone should be self-effacing.
Always regard others as better than yourself

Put others interests before your own

Jesus, help me say "no" to anything unworthy of your Good News

One Sabbath day Jesus and his disciples were walking through a cornfield.
The disciples were hungry. They picked some ears of corn and ate them

Picking corn on the Sabbath was regarded as unlawful by the Pharisees.
So the Pharisees said to Jesus "Your disciples are breaking the Sabbath law"

Jesus replied "Don't you remember what King David and his followers once did
when they were hungry? They ate the Temple bread which only the priests were allowed to eat

The Son of Man  is master of the Sabbath"

Jesus, Son of Man, please help me understand
 that love is more important than law
