104: Deuteronomy 23-24; Psalm 61; Acts 15:1-21 Daily Bible Reading Podcast
-
- Christianity
DEUTERONOMY 23-24:
Yesterday we read an odd collection of regulations: Cleansing the land from unsolved murder, marrying a captive woman after a war, rights of a first-born son when a man has more than one wife, the responsibility of helping neighbors, and various problems concerning adultery.
PSALM 61:
This is one I love to sing.
ACTS 15a:
In Acts 14, we heard of the incredible turn of events for Paul and Barnabas. At one moment they were hailed as gods, but after a very short time Paul was stoned. As they tell the believers, “We have to go through many hardships before we enter God's kingdom in heaven.”
NLT Translation notes:
6 [Since you have made me king, O Lord,]
Add many years to [my life.//the life of the king!]
May [my//his] years span the generations!
7 May [I/he] reign under [your//God’s] protection, [even] forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over [me//him].
