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 

God invited Moses, Aaron, Nadab and 70 other men
to see him face to face.

They saw God face to face and ate and drank in his presence.

Under God's feet the ground was like a pure blue jewel.

God then invited Moses to go up the mountain.

A cloud covered the mountain
and for 6 days the glory of the Lord settled on the mountain.

On the seventh day God spoke with Moses inside the cloud.

Moses stayed on the mountain for about 40 days.

Dear God, thank you for times of prayer

The Lord is king, let earth rejoice,
the many coastlands be glad.

Cloud and darkness are his robes.
His throne is justice and goodness.

The skies proclaim his goodness.
All peoples see his glory.

Let those who serve idols be ashamed.
Let all creation worship  the Creator.

Light shines forth for good people
and joy for the upright of heart.

Rejoice in the Lord, all good people.
Give glory to his holy name.

Lord, you indeed are God of the universe

In Jerusalem Paul gave a report to James and other Christian leaders
of all that God had done for non-Jews through his ministry

But Paul was soon seen by Jews from where he had traveled.
He was dragged out of the Temple and beaten by a wild crowd

The beating was stopped by a Roman captain who had Paul bound
with chains. The crowd was calling out for Paul to be killed

Paul asked for permission to speak to the crowd and the captain  agreed. Paul then spoke to the crowd in Hebrew

Jesus, please protect Christians who live in dangerous places

Jesus told the people to respect their religious leaders,
but he condemned the religious leaders
-  for not practising what they preached
- for doing things just to attract attention
- for craving front seats and places of honor
- for being concerned only with externals

Jesus called the religious leaders
-  "hypocrites"
- "blind guides"
- "tombs that look good on the outside but are  full of dead bones".

Jesus, please help religious leaders be good people
