January 4, 2021 - THE ELEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS



Day 4 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: Genesis 9-11; Matthew 4)

THE ELEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

On the eleventh day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Eleven Pipers Piping
Ten Lords a Leaping
Nine Ladies Dancing
Eight Maids a-Milking
Seven Swans a-Swimming
Six Geese a-Laying
Five Golden Rings
Four Calling Birds 
Three French Hens
Two Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

The Eleven Pipers Piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples. 
1) Simon Peter, 2) Andrew, 3) James, 4) John, 5) Philip, 6) Bartholomew, 7) Matthew, 8) Thomas, 9) James bar Alphaeus, 10) Simon the Zealot, 11) Judas bar James. The list does not include the twelfth disciple, Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus to the religious leaders and the Romans, nor does it include Matthias, the replacement for Judas. 
Dearest Lord Jesus, may I be faithful to You, just like the disciples. To this end, please give me a hunger to read and learn more from Your Word this year. Amen.
