Second Samuel 10 -11

The Ammonites went to war with the Israelites,
but David led the Israelites to victory.

During a further war with the Ammonites,
David stayed in Jerusalem and did not go to the battle.

While in Jerusalem, he made love to Bathsheba the wife of Uriah
who conceived and sent word to David, "I am with child."

David recalled Uriah to Jerusalem
and tried to get him to sleep with his wife.

But Uriah loyally observed the custom of the time
and refrained from marital relations since he was a soldier at war.

David then arranged for Uriah to be killed in battle
by having him stationed in a defenceless position.

After a time of mourning for Uriah,
Bathsheba became David's wife and bore him a son.

The Lord was displeased with David.

Dear God, help us not to displease you


Psalm 113

Praise, O friends of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord.

May the name of the Lord be blessed
both now and for evermore.

From the rising of the sun to its setting
praised be the name of the Lord.

Who is like the Lord our God,
above the heavens his glory.

From the dust he lifts up the lowly,
to put them in the company of royalty.

To the childless wife he gives a home
and gladdens her heart with children.

May the Lord be praised from sunrise to sunset


Colossians 3

Wives and husbands, understand and support each other.
Children, be obedient to your parents.
Parents, treat your children fairly or else they will rebel

Slaves, be obedient and respectful to your owners.
Offer up your work to the Lord, our Heavenly Owner

Owners, be just and fair to your slaves. Remember your Heavenly Owner

Jesus,  help  families to live together in harmony


Luke 9

One day Jesus asked his disciples
"Who do people say I am?"

The disciples replied
"Some people say you are one of the famous prophets come back to life"

Jesus then asked them
"And what about you. Who do you say I am?"

Peter answered
"You are the Anointed One of God"

Jesus, please help more and more people know you and love you
