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


Today’s Reading: Psalm 97:8-12 (NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

 

LORD God,
it is my prayer
that all people will see your glory
and bow before you,
the magnificent King of Righteousness.
Extend your reign I pray.
Let the distant shores rejoice because you reign.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
A Prophet Without Honor

Jesus left there and went to his hometown,
accompanied by his disciples. 
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue,
 and many who heard him were amazed.

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked.
“What’s this wisdom that has been given him?
What are these remarkable miracles he is performing?
 Isn’t this the carpenter?
Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon?
Aren’t his sisters here with us?”
And they took offense at him.

 Jesus said to them, 
“A prophet is not without honor except in his own town,
among his relatives and in his own home.” 
He could not do any miracles there,
except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 
He was amazed at their lack of faith.
(Mark 6:1-6).

God sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
We saw his son and are now telling others about him.
(1 John 4:14 NIV)

Today’s Reading: Psalm 97: 1-7(NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
it is my prayer

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Calms the Storm

That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, 
“Let us go over to the other side.”
 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along,
just as he was, in the boat. 
There were also other boats with him.
 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat,
so that it was nearly swamped. 
Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion.
The disciples woke him and said to him,
“Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves,
 “Quiet! Be still!” 
Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

 He said to his disciples,
 “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

They were terrified and asked each other,
“Who is this?
Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
(Mark 4:35-41).

Today’s Reading: Psalm 96: 7-13(NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD,
I want to see your glory and strength.
I acknowledge your attributes.
You are holy, merciful, and just.
Thank you for your righteous judgments.
Help me see the good in others.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Again he said,
“What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,
or what parable shall we use to describe it?
It is like a mustard seed,
which is the smallest of all seeds on earth.
 Yet when planted,
it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants,
with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them,
as much as they could understand.
He did not say anything to them without using a parable.
But when he was alone with his own disciples,
he explained everything.
(Mark 4:30-34).

* * *

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us:
He has given us of his Spirit.
(1 John 4:13 NIV)

Gospel Reading:
The Parable of the Growing Seed

He also said,
“This is what the kingdom of God is like. 
A man scatters seed on the ground.
Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up,
the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
All by itself the soil produces grain—
first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
As soon as the grain is ripe,
he puts the sickle to it,
because the harvest has come.”
(Mark 4:26-29).

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us:

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD, give me ears that hear your voice
gently speaking to me.
Give me a heart that is quick to obey.
I want a tender heart

Amen.

Gospel Reading:
A Lamp on a Stand

He said to them,
 “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed?
Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?
 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed,
and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.
 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”

 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. 
“With the measure you use,
it will be measured to you—and even more.
 Whoever has will be given more;
whoever does not have,
even what they have will be taken from them.”
(Mark 4:21-25).
