Day 31

Old Testament Reading:  Job 19; Job 20; Job 21 NIV   I don’t think I like reading Job…he seems so upset with God…

New Testament Reading:  Matthew 21:1-17 NIV    Jesus is a teacher, teaching the ways of God ~ the “holy men” of the town were so ruthless and hateful – deceiving so many.

Psalms Reading:  Psalm 18:1-6 NIV  God hears us when we call out to him, our words fall on his ears and he listens.  Do I listen as he speaks to me?  Do I listen in the silence for his answer to my prayers?

Day 30

Old Testament Reading: Job 15; Job 16; Job 17; Job 18 NIV  Job seems to really be feeling pity on himself… 

New Testament Reading: Matthew 20:20-34 NIV  The crowd that was following Jesus rebuked the blind men…shushing them as they were calling out to Jesus…as I am listening or learning from Jesus…do I ignore the needs of others?  Is this like Martha?  I do not want to be like that.

Psalms Reading: Psalm 17:13-15 NIV  Protect me Lord from those that would cause harm to me, keep me safe and build me up as a sheild with your strength.

Day 28

Old Testament Reading: Job 8; Job 9; Job 10 NIV   I don’t know what to say about this reading…sometimes I feel the same way Job does…frustrated.

New Testament Reading: Matthew 19:16-30 NIV  To give up everything and follow Jesus…I have dreams of going on mission trips…helping those in need, helping people that really want it, that want to learn about Jesus.  Right now, it is just a struggle to teach those in my own household…How can I have such wonderful children and at the same time they don’t get it?  I want them so much to see the importance of walking with Jesus…more than anything, this is what I want.  I struggle with the idea that it has to be their walk – their choice.

Proverbs Reading: Proverbs 3:11-20 NIV  Wisdom – the Bible is full of wisdom.

Day 26 & 27

Posted by michellefoos on Monday, 1 February, 2010

Job 1; Job 2; Job 3 NIV & Job 4; Job 5; Job 6; Job 7 NIV

Job is very unhappy and miserable – he has lost everything and it seems his faith is faultering…but I am not sure because sometimes I don’t get what they say in the BIble….

Matthew 18:10-35 NIV & Matthew 19:1-15 NIV

I love listening to the teachings of Jesus…

Psalm 16:1-11 NIV & Psalm 17:1-5 NIV

Versus in Psalms are like words spoken on the wind…they bounce around – beautiful and light as if God himself was blowing bubbles on a beautiful, warm summer day – I love listening to prayers that are my own.
