NUMBERS 15:
Yesterday in Numbers 14 we heard the very
important and dramatic story: The people of Israel became unworthy
to enter the Promised Land because of their stubborn unbelief. In
the midst of that experience, Moses' prayers to God on behalf of
the people are prime examples of how to plead with the Lord. The
key revealed in that passage is to plead with God in accordance
with his character and quoting his promises!
PSALM 35:
In
today’s psalm, David prays for victory over his enemies. Opposition
to David was sponsored by King Saul, who became David's enemy for
no good reason— only because of envy.
LUKE 22b:
Yesterday in this chapter we heard of Judas
betraying Jesus to the Jewish leaders, of the last supper, and of
Jesus' last words to the disciples, including the prophecy that
Peter would deny Him three times.
