Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer
Today’s Reading: Psalm 21:1-7
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
Heavenly Father,
help me to rightly handle the success you bring.
Lord Jesus,
you are my victory over death,
hell, and the grave.
Help me remain thankful.
You are more wonderful than I can imagine.
I praise you.
I owe any success I have achieved to you,
Lord Jesus.
Amen.

The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him,
standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
When Zechariah saw him,
he was startled and was gripped with fear.
But the angel said to him:
“Do not be afraid, Zechariah;
your prayer has been heard.
Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son,
and you are to call him John.
He will be a joy and delight to you,
and many will rejoice because of his birth,
for he will be great in the sight of the Lord.
He is never to take wine or other fermented drink,
and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit
even before he is born.
He will bring back many of the people of Israel
to the Lord their God.
And he will go on before the Lord,
in the spirit and power of Elijah,
to turn the hearts of the parents to their children
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—
to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
(Luke 1:11-17 NIV)*

New from David Kitz
James—the brother of Jesus—who was this man? What evidence do we have that this “brother of our Lord” even existed?
David Kitz digs deep into archeology, family dynamics, church history, and the biblical texts. What emerges from his research is a portrait of a decisive, pivotal leader who embodied the will and character of Jesus Christ.
But how did James—James the unbeliever—transform to become a leader who changed the course of world history? In these pages you will uncover the answer and rediscover for yourself the life-changing power of the gospel.
