2CHRONICLES 19:
Yesterday we heard the story of how Jehoshaphat
helped Ahab in battle. God had already spoken through a prophet
that Ahab would meet his downfall and how the dogs would lick up
his blood. This happened, as we already read in 1Kings 22, when
they took his chariot back to Samaria.
PROVERBS 31b:
Speaking of a capable and virtuous wife, this
chapter says:
28
Her children show their appreciation, and her husband praises
her.
29 He says, “Many
women are good wives, but you are the best of them all.”
MATTHEW 14:
Yesterday we heard of the judgment at the end
of time in two parables that spoke about a separation of humanity
at the judgment. And we heard of the pearl and the treasure—
illustrating the joy of finding our salvation in Christ.

believe in me!//What little faith you have!] Why did you
doubt?”
