NUMBERS 29-30:
Yesterday we heard about the request of the
daughters of Zelophehad, and the Lord told Moses that it was time
for him to die. Joshua was appointed to lead in Moses' place. And
we were given the list of sacrificial offerings to be given every
day in the morning and evening, those given each Sabbath, and those
offered on the first day of the month, at the festival of
unleavened bread, and the harvest festival. More of the same starts
our reading today.
PSALM 43:
This
psalm is a companion to Psalm 42, containing the same refrain
at the end. Both Psalms seem to be the prayers of someone in exile,
who is unable to go to Jerusalem. This is a prayer for God to
defend and guide each of us as worshipers of the Lord.
ACTS 4a:
Yesterday we heard the story of the remarkable
healing of lame beggar at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. Peter's
speech was interrupted as we will hear today.
