Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
Today’s Reading: Psalm 70 (NIV)*
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
LORD God,
I don’t want to live the life of the self-satisfied.
You are my treasure and my very great reward.
I am needy—in constant need of you.
Come quickly to me, O God.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
John the Baptist Beheaded
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,
and he said to his attendants,
“This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead!
That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
Now Herod had arrested John and bound him
and put him in prison because of Herodias,
his brother Philip’s wife,
for John had been saying to him:
“It is not lawful for you to have her.”
Herod wanted to kill John,
but he was afraid of the people,
because they considered John a prophet.
On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias
danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much
that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
Prompted by her mother, she said,
“Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
The king was distressed,
but because of his oaths and his dinner guests,
he ordered that her request be granted
and had John beheaded in the prison.
His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl,
who carried it to her mother.
John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it.
Then they went and told Jesus.
(Matthew 14:1-12).
