Psalm 84 - Beautiful psalm about wanting to be in the presence of God. I appreciate the simplicity of the words about the sparrow who makes a home in God's house.
Proverbs 25:1-22 - This section is again filled with lots of bits of wisdom. For example, a soft tongue breaks a bone. Jesus quotes one of these proverbs and Paul another, the one about being asked up by the king, and the one about heaping burning coals on your enemies head. The one that struck me most this morning is at the beginning. "It is the glory of God to conceal things." What do you think he means?
John 19:23-42 - John is emphatic about Jesus' confirmed death; a recognition that right away people would try to claim that if he was alive afterward he couldn't have died. In reading this in the middle of June I am caught off guard. I'm used to celebrating little Easters every Sunday, but today is like a little Good Friday as we are left with Jesus' death in the reading.
