1 Samuel 9-10: Among the men of the tribe of Benjamin there was a very tall and very handsome man named Saul. Once when he went in search of his father's stray donkeys, he met up with Samuel. The Lord had told Samuel that he would meet Saul, and that he should be anointed as king. And so Samuel took some oil and poured it on Saul's head. He told Saul that the Lord had chosen him to be king. Samuel presented Saul to the people. The people acclaimed Saul saying "Long live the king!" Dear Lord, please protect and guide all people in authority
My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 87: On the holy mountain is Jerusalem, the Lord's cherished city. Of you are told glorious things, O city of God. All nations are called to serve and love the Lord. And Jerusalem shall be called their spiritual mother, for all shall be her children. In Jerusalem everyone will be welcome and find a home. 
Lord, may Jerusalem be a place of peace and prayer for all peoples

Listen

 

Acts 19.23 - 20.1: In Ephesus there was a silversmith who employed many craftsmen making shrines of the local idol, Diana. The silversmith called a meeting of the city's silversmiths and said to them "Not just here in Ephesus, but in many parts of the region, this man Paul has converted many people with his argument that gods made by hand are not gods at all. This is a threat to our trade". A mob was formed and dragged two of Paul's companions to a local theatre. The town clerk eventually calmed the mob and dismissed them. By now Paul had decided to leave Ephesus. He went to Greece and spent three months there
Jesus, please help people give up the worship of idols made by human hands

Listen


 

Luke 23.26-34: As Jesus was being led to the place of crucifixion, a man named Simon was coming into Jerusalem from the country. He was made to carry the cross behind Jesus. Large numbers of people followed him, including women who mourned for him. Jesus said to them "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me. Weep rather for yourselves and for your children. For if this is how innocent people are treated, what will happen to people who are guilty?" Two criminals were led out with Jesus to be crucified with him
Jesus, please help me to carry my cross each day

Listen

Reflection: Jesus' words to the women are only in Luke ... Luke as usual gives a special focus to women .... and Jesus' words refer to the destruction of Jerusalem around 70 A.D.

1 Samuel 8: When Samuel grew old, the people asked him to find someone to be their king. Samuel was not happy that the people asked for a king. Samuel also warned the people that a king would impose taxes and have many rights over them. But the people insisted on having a king. The Lord then told Samuel to give the people a king
Dear God, you are our only true King
My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 86: Turn your ear, O Lord, and give answer for I am poor and needy. O Lord, you are good and forgiving, full of love to all who call to you. All the nations shall come to adore you and glorify your name, O Lord, you who alone are God. Show me, Lord, your way, and guide my heart so that I may walk in your truth. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart for your love to me has been great. O give your strength to your servant and save your handmaid's son. 
Dear Lord, thank you for all your love

Acts 19.11-20: So remarkable were the miracles worked by God through Paul, that even handkerchiefs which had touched him, were taken to the sick, and they were healed and evil spirits came out of them. Some believers admitted how they had practised magic. They collected their expensive books on magic and burnt them in public. Things like these helped the word of the Lord to continue spreading
Jesus, what can I do to help your message spread?

Listen

 

 

Luke 23.13-25: Pilate said to the religious leaders and to the people "You brought this man before me as a  political agitator. Neither Herod nor I have found a case against the man. He has done nothing deserving death. I shall have him flogged and then let him go". But the leaders and people screamed out "Away with him. Crucify him!" Pilate asked "Why? What harm has he done?" They kept shouting "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate then gave in to them and handed Jesus over for crucifixion
Jesus, how great your mental suffering must have been as the crowd shouted for your death

Yesterday morning's weather forecast did not forecast heavy rain, much less a storm, but yesterday afternoon at our weekly prayer meeting for cancer patients ... at the very moment we were praying for the first patient... just as we started singing "Come Holy Spirit" ... suddenly, and most unexpectedly, the heavens opened and the rain poured down!

Psalm 27: The Lord is my light and my help, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, before whom shall I shrink? Though an army encamp against me, even then would I trust. There is one thing I ask of the Lord, for this I long: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. It is your face, O Lord, that I seek. Hide not your face. I am sure I will see your goodness in the land of the living. Hope in the Lord, hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord! 
Lord, you are my light and my help. I will always praise you.

Philippians 3.20 - 4.1: Our homeland is in heaven. We wait for the Savior from heaven who will transfigure these wretched bodies of ours into copies of his glorious body. He will do this by the same power he has as C.E.O. of the universe. So, do not stop running but remain faithful in the Lord.
Jesus, please increase my longing for heaven

Luke 9.28-36: One day Jesus took his disciples Peter, James and John up a high mountain to pray. On the mountain, while Jesus was praying, his whole appearance changed. His clothes became brilliant as lightning. The prophets Moses and Elijah appeared and spoke with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus "Lord, how good it is for us to be here!" Then a bright cloud covered them with its shadow. From the cloud came a voice: "This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him". When the voice had finished speaking, the disciples saw only Jesus in his normal appearance.
Jesus, Beloved Son of God, how good it is to spend time with you in prayer.

1 Samuel 7: The Sacred Chest was taken from the town of Beth-shemesh to the town of Kiriath-jearim, to the house of Abinadab, whose son Eleazar was consecrated to guard the Chest. After 20 more years, the Israelites again longed for freedom from the Philistines. Samuel gathered all the Israelites at Mizpah, where after prayer, battle was joined with the Philistines who were defeated. The Philistines no longer came into Israelite territory. Samuel was judge over all Israel for the rest of his life. During Samuel's time, the Philistines no longer troubled Israel. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites. Each year Samuel went on circuit around the country to judge cases of law. He would then return to his home town of Ramah and continue his work as a judge from there.
Dear God, please give the world more leaders like Samuel

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 85: I will hear what the Lord God has to say, a voice that speaks of peace. Peace for his people and his friends and those who turn to him in their hearts. His help is near for those who love him and his glory will dwell in our land. Mercy and faithfulness have met. Justice and peace have embraced. Faithfulness shall spring from the earth and justice shall look down from heaven. The Lord will make us prosper and our earth shall yield its fruit. Justice shall march before him and peace shall follow his steps 
Lord, please give more peace to our world

Listen

 

Acts 19.8-10: For three months, Paul went to the Jewish prayer hall in Ephesus, speaking boldly about the kingdom of God. When some Jews strongly attacked the Way, he stopped going to the prayer hall, and began daily discussions in a lecture room. He kept doing this for two years, with the result that people from many places, both Jews and non-Jews, were able to hear the word of God
Jesus, please give more and more people the opportunity to hear your word

Listen

 

 

Luke 22.66 - 23.12: At daybreak there was a meeting of the religious leaders. Jesus was brought before them. They asked him "Are you the Son of God?". He replied "Yes". They said "We have heard his blasphemy from his own lips". They took him to the Roman governor, Pilate, and made many false accusations against him. Pilate said "I find no case against him". Jesus was then taken to King Herod who made fun of him and sent him back to Pilate
Jesus, on trial before the leaders, before Herod and before Pilate, please help all prisoners who are on trial today

1 Samuel 6: The Sacred Chest of the Lord was in Philistine territory for 7 months. Then the Philistines put the Chest on a cart pulled by 2 milch cows. The cows went straight to the Israelite town of Beth-shemesh, without anyone leading them. The people of Beth-shemesh were overjoyed to see the Sacred Chest.
Dear Lord, thank you for the joy in our hearts which comes from friendship with you

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 84: How lovely is your sacred temple, Lord. My heart is longing to spend time in your holy dwelling. Even sparrows and swallows are your temple guests. They build homes for their young near your altar. Blessed are the people who live and work in your temple. And blessed, too, are people who keep the memory of your temple in their hearts. As they go through the troubles of life, you give them strength to face the trials of each day. Lord, one day within your temple is better than a thousand anywhere else. 
Dear God, thank you for special places of prayer

Listen

 

Acts 19.1-7: Paul left Corinth and went to the city of Ephesus where he found a dozen men who had been baptized by John the Baptist. He asked them "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?" They replied "We have not been taught about the Holy Spirit". When Paul explained Jesus to them, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Paul then prayed with them using the laying on of hands, and the Holy Spirit came down on them. They began to speak in tongues and to prophesy
Holy Spirit, please fall afresh on me and increase your influence in my life

Listen


 

Luke 22.63-65: The men who were guarding Jesus mocked him and beat him. They blindfolded him. "Since you are a prophet", they said, "tell us who hit you just then". And they continued heaping insults on him
Jesus, please stop me from making offensive fun of other people

Listen


Reflection: Imagine the distress and heartache of a really good parent being mocked and beaten by their children .... only a feeble image of the distress and heartache of Jesus being mocked and beaten by his creatures

1 Samuel 5: The Philistines took the captured Sacred Chest to the shrine of Dagon in one of their towns. Next morning, they found the statue of Dagon on its face on the ground, in front of the Sacred Chest. They picked Dagon up and put him back in his place. But next morning he was down again, with his head and hands cut off from the rest of his body. While the Sacred Chest was in the Philistine town, the people there were struck with tumors and many people died. The people told their leaders to take the Sacred Chest back to Israel where it belonged.
Dear God, please help everyone know that there is no other God but you.

My recording of this reading


Psalms 82-83: God says to corrupt officials: "How long will you judge unjustly and mistreat the poor? You should do justice for the weak and the orphan. You should defend the afflicted and the needy. You should rescue the weak and the poor. You should set them free from the hand of the wicked". O God, please protect your people from corruption and injustice. Save us also from attack by other nations. Let everyone know that you are the Lord of all the earth.
Lord, please stop corrupt officials from hurting people

Acts 18.5-11: In Corinth, Paul was rejected by the Jews, so he spent his time preaching to non-Jewish people. Many Corinthians became believers and were baptized. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid to speak out, nor allow yourself to be silenced. I am with you". So Paul stayed in Corinth for 18 months preaching the word of God 
Jesus, give Christians more courage to speak your message

Luke 22.54-62:
The men who arrested Jesus took him to the home of the main religious leader. Peter followed at a distance. As Peter sat by a fire in the courtyard, a servant-girl said "This man was with Jesus".  Peter replied "Woman I do not know him". A little while later, another person said "You are one of them". Peter replied "I am not". About an hour later, a man said "He was certainly with them. He is from Galilee". Peter replied "I do not know what you are talking about". While he was still speaking, a rooster crowed, and the Lord looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered what the Lord had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times". Peter went outside and cried bitterly
Jesus, don't let me ever deny that I know you 

  Listen

Reflection: Even though Peter had seen so many miracles done by Jesus ....healings, exorcisms, multiplication of loaves and fishes, calming of storms ....and had seen Jesus' glory at the Transfiguration ... yet he still failed the rooster test. And even though Peter failed the rooster test, Jesus did not dismiss him, but strengthened him to continue as leader of the apostolic group

  For the rest of his life, Peter did not like the sound of a rooster crowing?

1 Samuel 4: Around this time, the Philistines defeated the Israelites in a battle. The Israelites then went to Shiloh and took the Sacred Chest of the Lord. They took the Sacred Chest into battle with them but the Chest was captured by the Philistines. In the same battle, Eli's two sons were killed. When Eli heard that his sons were dead and that the Sacred Chest had been captured, he fell backwards off his seat, his neck was broken, and he died.

Acts 18.1-4: Paul left Athens and went to the city of Corinth. He met a Jewish couple who had recently left Italy when the Emperor Claudius expelled all Jews from Rome.

Jesus, you gave up your freedom for our salvation
