Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”


Today’s Reading: Psalm 63:1-5 (NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I want more of you in my life.
Help me to sing and praise your name
and draw my satisfaction from you.
You are the true source of life and joy.
All my springs of joy are in you.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
The Cost of Following Jesus

 When Jesus saw the crowd around him,
he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.
Then a teacher of the law came to him and said,
“Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

Jesus replied,
“Foxes have dens and birds have nests,
but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

Another disciple said to him,
“Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

But Jesus told him,
“Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
(Matthew 8:18-22).

Dear children,
let us not love with words or speech
but with actions and in truth.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Heals Many

When Jesus came into Peter’s house,
he saw Peter’s mother-in-law
lying in bed with a fever.
He touched her hand and the fever left her,
and she got up and began to wait on him.

When evening came,
many who were demon-possessed
were brought to him,
and he drove out the spirits with a word
and healed all the sick.
This was to fulfill what was spoken
through the prophet Isaiah:

“He took up our infirmities
    and bore our diseases.”
(Matthew 8:14-17).
