Computer Cud         V 2 asks us to read the Bible every day,   'to have a burning love'   for the Word of God              Resolution

This plan follows the Sunday liturgy:    reading + psalm + reading + gospel                  From  www.simplebible.info 

O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today. 
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, courage and peace for my daily life 

When Balaam came to the king of Moab,
the king again tried to get Balaam to curse the Israelites.

But Balaam followed God's words and said:
"How can I curse people that God does not curse?

These people are specially blessed by God.
How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob.
How lovely are your dwellings, O Israel.

From you will come a mighty one
who will reign over countless peoples.
A star from Jacob will be leader".

Dear God, please bless the Jewish people with peace and love

Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who gives me strength for every situation.

He is my love, my fortress.
He is my stronghold, my savior.

To you, O God, will I sing a new song,
you who so often rescued David your servant.

Happy the people whose God is the Lord.
Please continue to bless your people, Lord.

Let our sons flourish like saplings
grown tall and strong from their youth;

our daughters graceful as columns,
adorned as though for a palace.

Let our crops and stock be blessed.
May there be no sound of weeping on our streets.

Lord, please help us love and honor you every day.
Don't let us ever forget your love

The life and death of each of us, has its influence on others.
If we live, we live for the Lord. If we die, we die for the Lord.
Alive or dead, we belong to the Lord

Never pass judgment on other people.
Never treat other people with contempt

The kingdom of God is not about eating special food.
The kingdom of God is about friendship with God,
and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit

Do whatever you can to help other people become stronger Christians

Jesus, please help me be a good Christian

Not long after Jesus began traveling and teaching,
King Herod arrested John the Baptist and put him in prison.

This was because John had told Herod he was breaking the Law
by living with Herodias,  his brother's wife.

During a birthday party for Herod,
the daughter of Herodias danced.

Her dancing so pleased Herod
that he said he would give her anything she wanted.

Herodias told her to ask for the head of John the Baptist on a dish.
Herod then had John beheaded.

Jesus, please give the world good leaders,
 and protect people from bad leaders like Herod
