Daily Bible Reading Podcast

1CHRONICLES 13-14:Yesterday we heard of mighty men who joined David in war, and the roll call of people who joined him politically to become king. And today we hear more about important events under David’s leadership.

PROVERBS 18b:A highlighted verse for today:

Pro. 18:22 NLT The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the LORD.

1THESSALONIANS 3:Yesterday Paul reminded the Thessalonians of the way he, Silas, and Timothy lived among them, and they definitely loved them like family. And at the end of the chapter Paul compares them to a crown (or like the crowning achievement in their ministry) which he longs to bring before Christ at His second coming. Paul’s statement that “God’s anger has come down on” the Jews, shows that events were moving toward the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.

NLT Translation note:1Th. 3:10 Night and day we pray earnestly for you, asking God to let us see you again to fill the gaps in your [believing/faith].
