Day 203 - (Today’s Bible readings: Jeremiah 39:11-18; Psalm 20; Acts 23:23-35)
Good for Evil
He said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil.” (1 Samuel 24:17 ESV)
“David’s compassion for vulnerable Saul is motivated by respect for God and for His anointed. It is met warmly by Saul, resulting in a temporary truce. Today, be ready to show compassion even to your enemies, as God in Christ has demonstrated His undeserved love to you.
Gracious Lord, thank You for sending Your true Anointed One to bring mercy to me while I was your enemy. Amen.”
(The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, 2009, page 476)
May the Lord lead you to repay evil with good today!

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice. There will be daily readings from the O.T., Psalms and the N.T. Special days on the church calendar will be highlighted with appropriate readings. This calendar has been compiled by representatives of the Lutheran Church of Canada, the North American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
