Daily Bible Reading Podcast

2CHRONICLES 4-5:Yesterday we heard of the preparations for building the temple, and then the dimensions and the beginning of the construction starting in the 4th year of Solomon’s reign.

PROVERBS 27a:Today’s first verse is very like the advice of James in the New Testament:

Pro. 27:1 NLT Don’t brag about tomorrow,since you don’t know what the day will bring.

MATTHEW 9:Yesterday we heard of several powerful healings and the miracle of calming the storm. One of the one-becomes-two instances is in the Gadarene demon possessed man, called Legion in the other Gospels. If Matthew was present, as I posited before, it would be before the story of his joining the disciples in this chapter.

NLT Translation notes:Mat. 9:22 Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “[0//Daughter, ]be encouraged! Your [belief in Me//faith] has made you well.” And the woman was healed at that moment.29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “Because [you have believed in Me//of your faith], it will happen.”
