Daily Scripture Readings Leading to
Pentecost Sunday June 11, 2006
Monday:
Isaiah 6:1-8 Here Am I, Send Me
The call of Isaiah is powerful and as we read we are caught up into the metaphore and imagery. Hot coals on the lips, Ouch!!
Tuesday:
Psalms 29 Voice of God
Nothing is like the voice of God. Have you heard the voice of which the Psalmist speaks?
Wednesday:
Psalms 29 The Storm
Read and ponder this Psalm a second day. Today focus your thoughts on the storm surrounding the voice of God. The people of God do not seem to be swept away by the storm; rather they appear to be strengthend by it all. Cool!!
Thursday:
Romans 8:12-17 The Good News
Once again this week Romans is full of good news for God’s people. We learn that we are like adopted little children into a new family. What we may not expect and cannot know beforehand is that this is the family of the king. While we may be told of the blessings of this relationship, it is our personal expereice which confirms our hearts to Christ Jesus. We then must go in works and deeds of love and care.
Friday:
John 3:1-15 Nicodemus and Jesus
How can a second birth be possible? Consider your place in this story and your second birth.
Saturday:
John 3:16-17 God’s Purpose
Perhaps my favorite passage. Memorize this!!
Sunday: Reflect and Worship
