AUGUST 3


PSALMS: 3, 33, 63, 93, 123

PROVERBS: 3

OLD TESTAMENT: JEREMIAH 42:1 - 44:23

NEW TESTAMENT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:1 - 21


PSALMS: 3

1 A psalm of David,
when he fled from Avshalom his son:
ADONAI, how many enemies I have!
How countless are those attacking me; 
2 how countless those who say of me,
"There is no salvation for him in God."
(Selah) 
3 But you, ADONAI, are a shield for me;
you are my glory, you lift my head high. 
4 With my voice I call out to ADONAI,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
(Selah) 
5 I lie down and sleep, then wake up again,
because ADONAI sustains me. 
6 I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
set against me on every side. 
7 Rise up, ADONAI!
Save me, my God!
For you slap all my enemies in the face,
you smash the teeth of the wicked. 
8 Victory comes from ADONAI;
may your blessing rest on your people.
(Selah)


PSALMS: 33

1 Rejoice in ADONAI, you righteous!
Praise is well-suited to the upright. 
2 Give thanks to ADONAI with the lyre,
sing praises to him with a ten-stringed harp. 
3 Sing to him a new song,
make music at your best among shouts of joy. 
4 For the word of ADONAI is true,
and all his work is trustworthy. 
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the grace of ADONAI. 
6 By the word of ADONAI the heavens were made,
and their whole host by a breath from his mouth. 
7 He collects the sea waters together in a heap;
he puts the deeps in storehouses. 
8 Let all the earth fear ADONAI!
Let all living in the world stand in awe of him. 
9 For he spoke, and there it was;
he commanded, and there it stood. 
10 ADONAI brings to nothing the plans of nations,
he foils the plans of the peoples. 
11 But the counsel of ADONAI stands forever,
his heart's plans are for all generations. 
12 How blessed is the nation whose God is ADONAI,
the people he chose as his heritage! 
13 ADONAI looks out from heaven;
he sees every human being; 
14 from the place where he lives he
watches everyone living on earth, 
15 he who fashioned the hearts of them
all and understands all they do. 
16 A king is not saved by the size of his army,
a strong man not delivered by his great strength. 
17 To rely on a horse for safety is vain,
nor does its great power assure escape. 
18 But ADONAI's eyes watch over those who fear him,
over those who wait for his grace 
19 to rescue them from death
and keep them alive in famine. 
20 We are waiting for ADONAI;
he is our help and shield. 
21 For in him our hearts rejoice,
because we trust in his holy name. 
22 May your mercy, ADONAI, be over us,
because we put our hope in you.


PSALMS: 63

1 A psalm of David,
when he was in the desert of Y'hudah:
O God, you are my God;
I will seek you eagerly.
My heart thirsts for you,
my body longs for you in a land parched and exhausted,
where no water can be found. 
2 I used to contemplate you in the sanctuary,
seeing your power and glory; 
3 for your grace is better than life.
My lips will worship you. 
4 Yes, I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands. 
5 I am as satisfied as with rich food;
my mouth praises you with joy on my lips 
6 when I remember you on my bed
and meditate on you in the night watches. 
7 For you have been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice; 
8 my heart clings to you;
your right hand supports me. 
9 But those who seek to destroy my life -may
they go to the lowest parts of the earth. 
10 May they be given over to the power of the sword;
may they become prey for jackals. 
11 But the king will rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears by him will exult,
for the mouths of liars will be silenced.


PSALMS: 93

1 ADONAI is king, robed in majesty;
ADONAI is robed, girded with strength;
The world is well established;
it cannot be moved. 
2 Your throne was established long ago;
you have existed forever. 
3 ADONAI, the deep is raising up, the deep is raising up
its voice, the deep is raising its crashing waves. 
4 More than the sound of rushing waters or the mighty breakers of the sea,
ADONAI on high is mighty.
5 Your instructions are very sure;
holiness befits your house,
ADONAI, for all time to come.


PSALMS: 123

1 A song of ascents:
I raise my eyes to you, whose throne is in heaven. 
2 As a servant looks to the hand of his master,
or a slave-girl to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes turn to ADONAI our God,
until he has mercy on us. 
3 Have mercy on us, ADONAI, have mercy;
for we have had our fill of contempt, 
4 more than our fill of scorn from the complacent
and contempt from the arrogant.


PROVERBS: 3

1 My son, don't forget my teaching,
keep my commands in your heart; 
2 for they will add to you many days,
years of life and peace.
3 Do not let grace and truth leave you -bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart. 
4 Then you will win favor and esteem
in the sight of God and of people. 
5 Trust in ADONAI with all your heart;
do not rely on your own understanding. 
6 In all your ways acknowledge him;
then he will level your paths. 
7 Don't be conceited about your own wisdom;
but fear ADONAI, and turn from evil. 
8 This will bring health to your body
and give strength to your bones. 
9 Honor ADONAI with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your income. 
10 Then your granaries will be filled
and your vats overflow with new wine. 
11 My son, don't despise ADONAI's discipline
or resent his reproof; 
12 for ADONAI corrects those he loves
like a father who delights in his son. 
13 Happy the person who finds wisdom,
the person who acquires understanding; 
14 for her profit exceeds that of silver,
gaining her is better than gold, 
15 she is more precious than pearls -nothing
you want can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand,
riches and honor in her left. 
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace. 
18 She is a tree of life to those who grasp her;
whoever holds fast to her will be made happy. 
19 ADONAI by wisdom founded the earth,
by understanding he established the heavens, 
20 by his knowledge the deep [springs] burst open
and the dew condenses from the sky. 
21 My son, don't let these slip from your sight;
preserve common sense and discretion; 
22 they will be life for your being
and grace for your neck. 
23 Then you will walk your way securely,
without hurting your foot. 
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. 
25 Don't be afraid of sudden terror or destruction caused by the wicked,
when it comes; 
26 for you can rely on ADONAI;
he will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.
27 Don't withhold good from someone entitled to it when
you have in hand the power to do it. 
28 Don't tell your neighbor, "Go away!
Come another time;
I'll give it to you tomorrow,"
when you have it now.
29 Don't plan harm against your neighbor who lives beside you trustingly. 
30 Don't quarrel with someone for no reason, if he has done you no harm. 
31 Don't envy a man of violence, don't choose any of his ways; 
32 for the perverse is an abomination to ADONAI,
but he shares his secret counsel with the upright. 
33 ADONAI's curse is in the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous. 
34 The scornful he scorns,
but gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise win honor,
but fools win shame.


OLD TESTAMENT: JEREMIAH 42:1 - 44:23

42:1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Yochanan the son of Kareach, and Yezanyah the son of Hosha`yah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near, 2 and said to Yirmeyahu the prophet, Let, we pray you, our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes do see us: 3 that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do. 4 Then Yirmeyahu the prophet said to them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall happen that whatever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you. 5 Then they said to Yirmeyahu, the LORD be a true and faithful witness among us, if we don't do according to all the word with which the LORD your God shall send you to us. 6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God. 7 It happened after ten days, that the word of the LORD came to Yirmeyahu. 8 Then called he Yochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, 9 and said to them, Thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him: 10 If you will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I repent me of the evil that I have done to you. 11 Don't be afraid of the king of Bavel, of whom you are afraid; don't be afraid of him, says the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. 12 I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land. 13 But if you say, We will not dwell in this land; so that you don't obey the voice of the LORD your God, 14 saying, No; but we will go into the land of Mitzrayim, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the shofar, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell: 15 now therefore hear you the word of the LORD, O remnant of Yehudah: Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra'el, If you indeed set your faces to enter into Mitzrayim, and go to sojourn there; 16 then it shall happen, that the sword, which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Mitzrayim; and the famine, whereof you are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Mitzrayim; and there you shall die. 17 So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Mitzrayim to sojourn there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them. 18 For thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra'el: As my anger and my wrath has been poured forth on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, so shall my wrath be poured forth on you, when you shall enter into Mitzrayim; and you shall be an object of horror, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more. 19 The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Yehudah, Don't you go into Mitzrayim: know certainly that I have testified to you this day. 20 For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it: 21 and I have this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in anything for which he has sent me to you. 22 Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to sojourn there.

43:1 It happened that, when Yirmeyahu had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words, 2 then spoke `Azaryah the son of Hosha`yah, and Yochanan the son of Kareach, and all the proud men, saying to Yirmeyahu, You speak falsely: the LORD our God has not sent you to say, You shall not go into Mitzrayim to sojourn there; 3 but Barukh the son of Neriyah sets you on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Kasdim, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Bavel. 4 So Yochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn't obey the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Yehudah. 5 But Yochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Yehudah, who were returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Yehudah; 6 the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person who Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan; and Yirmeyahu the prophet, and Barukh the son of Neriyah; 7 and they came into the land of Mitzrayim; for they didn't obey the voice of the LORD: and they came to Tachpanches. 8 Then came the word of the LORD to Yirmeyahu in Tachpanches, saying, 9 Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work, which is at the entry of Par`oh's house in Tachpanches, in the sight of the men of Yehudah; 10 and tell them, Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra'el: Behold, I will send and take Nevukhadretztzar the king of Bavel, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. 11 He shall come, and shall strike the land of Mitzrayim; such as are for death [shall be given] to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword. 12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Mitzrayim; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Mitzrayim, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he shall go forth from there in shalom. 13 He shall also break the pillars of Beit-Shemesh, that is in the land of Mitzrayim; and the houses of the gods of Mitzrayim shall he burn with fire.

44:1 The word that came to Yirmeyahu concerning all the Yehudim who lived in the land of Mitzrayim, who lived at Migdol, and at Tachpanches, and at Mof, and in the country of Patros, saying, 2 Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra'el: You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Yerushalayim, and on all the cities of Yehudah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwells therein, 3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, [and] to serve other gods, that they didn't know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers. 4 However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, don't do this abominable thing that I hate. 5 But they didn't listen, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods. 6 Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Yehudah and in the streets of Yerushalayim; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day. 7 Therefore now thus says the LORD, the God Tzva'ot,, the God of Yisra'el: Why commit you [this] great evil against your own souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Yehudah, to leave you none remaining; 8 in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Mitzrayim, where you are gone to sojourn; that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the eretz? 9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Yehudah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Yehudah, and in the streets of Yerushalayim? 10 They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers. 11 Therefore thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra'el: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Yehudah. 12 I will take the remnant of Yehudah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Mitzrayim to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Mitzrayim shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an object of horror, [and] an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach. 13 For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Mitzrayim, as I have punished Yerushalayim, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; 14 so that none of the remnant of Yehudah, who have gone into the land of Mitzrayim to sojourn there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Yehudah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape. 15 Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Mitzrayim, in Patros, answered Yirmeyahu, saying, 16 As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you. 17 But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Yehudah, and in the streets of Yerushalayim; for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. 18 But since we left off burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink-offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. 19 When we burned incense to the queen of the sky, and poured out drink-offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink-offerings to her, without our husbands? 20 Then Yirmeyahu said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him who answer, saying, 21 The incense that you burned in the cities of Yehudah, and in the streets of Yerushalayim, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn't the LORD remember them, and didn't it come into his mind? 22 so that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore is your land become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day. 23 Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened to you, as it is this day.


NEW TESTAMENT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:1 - 21

2:1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua. 
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 
3 You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua. 
4 No soldier on service entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier. 
5 If also a man competes in the games, he is not crowned, unless he has competed by the rules. 
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops. 
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. 
8 Remember Yeshua the Messiah, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Good News, 
9 in which I suffer hardship to bonds, as a criminal. But God's word isn't bound. 
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory. 
11 This saying is faithful: For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we will deny him, he also will deny us. 
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful -- he can't deny himself. 
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don't argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear. 
15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn't need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth. 
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness, 
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness." 
20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor. 
21 If a man therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.

 John 3:16-21 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, F that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.G 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
