Daily Readings and Thought for August 21st. “DID MORE TO PROVOKE GOD TO ANGER ….”

We like to read of good things and we are tempted to gloss over reading about bad things.  For this reason Bible readers sometimes skip over parts of the Old Testament and fail to pick up the lessons they teach us. A couple of days ago we read of “the unbearable news” a prophet brought and now we read of ...

Psalms 145



2
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
4
One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
13
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14
The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
15
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
20
The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
21
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Psalms 146



2
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Psalms 147



1
Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
3
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
7
Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
9
He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11
The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
15
He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16
He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

Luke 12



1
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
5
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
16
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
18
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
22
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23
The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
33
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
36
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
41
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
43
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
46
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55
And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
58
When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
