MATTHEW 6:28-34 
 28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

BRT (BIBLE READING TIME) Day38 - Matt 6:28-34

11 " 'On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east toward the Sea. It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog. 
 12 " 'For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I am glorified will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign LORD. 
 14 " 'Men will be regularly employed to cleanse the land. Some will go throughout the land and, in addition to them, others will bury those that remain on the ground. At the end of the seven months they will begin their search. 15 As they go through the land and one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog. 16 (Also a town called Hamonah will be there.) And so they will cleanse the land.' 
 17 "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: 'Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18 You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls—all of them fattened animals from Bashan. 19 At the sacrifice I am preparing for you, you will eat fat till you are glutted and drink blood till you are drunk. 20 At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,' declares the Sovereign LORD. 
 21 "I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay upon them. 22 From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God. 23 And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.

LUKE 7:36 - 8:3 
 36Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. 37When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, 38and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. 
 39When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner." 
 40Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." 
 "Tell me, teacher," he said. 
 41"Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?" 
 43Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled." 
 "You have judged correctly," Jesus said. 
 44Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little." 
 48Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 
 49The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 
 50Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." 
LUKE 8 
 1After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

BRT (BIBLE READING TIME) Day33 - Luke 7:36-8:3

25Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. 26Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. 27Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 28But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. 
 
 29What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; 30those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. 
 
 32I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

BRT (BIBLE READING TIME) Day29 - 1 Corinthians 7:25-35

It will be a sign and witness to the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them. 
 
ISAIAH 19 
 1 An oracle concerning Egypt: 
 See, the LORD rides on a swift cloud 
 and is coming to Egypt. 
 The idols of Egypt tremble before him, 
 and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them. 
 2 "I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian— 
 brother will fight against brother, 
 neighbor against neighbor, 
 city against city, 
 kingdom against kingdom. 
 3 The Egyptians will lose heart, 
 and I will bring their plans to nothing; 
 they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, 
 the mediums and the spiritists. 
 4 I will hand the Egyptians over 
 to the power of a cruel master, 
 and a fierce king will rule over them," 
 declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. 
 5 The waters of the river will dry up, 
 and the riverbed will be parched and dry. 
 6 The canals will stink; 
 the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up. 
 The reeds and rushes will wither, 
 7 also the plants along the Nile, 
 at the mouth of the river. 
 Every sown field along the Nile 
 will become parched, will blow away and be no more. 
 8 The fishermen will groan and lament, 
 all who cast hooks into the Nile; 
 those who throw nets on the water 
 will pine away. 
 9 Those who work with combed flax will despair, 
 the weavers of fine linen will lose hope. 
 10 The workers in cloth will be dejected, 
 and all the wage earners will be sick at heart. 
 11 The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools; 
 the wise counselors of Pharaoh give senseless advice. 
 How can you say to Pharaoh, 
 "I am one of the wise men, 
 a disciple of the ancient kings"? 
 12 Where are your wise men now? 
 Let them show you and make known 
 what the LORD Almighty 
 has planned against Egypt. 
 13 The officials of Zoan have become fools, 
 the leaders of Memphis are deceived; 
 the cornerstones of her peoples 
 have led Egypt astray. 
 14 The LORD has poured into them 
 a spirit of dizziness; 
 they make Egypt stagger in all that she does, 
 as a drunkard staggers around in his vomit. 
 15 There is nothing Egypt can do— 
 head or tail, palm branch or reed. 
 16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the LORD Almighty raises against them. 17 And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what the LORD Almighty is planning against them. 
 18 In that day five cities in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD Almighty. One of them will be called the City of Destruction. 
 19 In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the LORD at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness to the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them. 21 So the LORD will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and keep them. 22 The LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; he will strike them and heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and he will respond to their pleas and heal them. 
 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. 24 In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. 25 The LORD Almighty will bless them, saying, "Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance."

2 CHRONICLES 18 
 1 Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honor, and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage. 2 Some years later he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria. Ahab slaughtered many sheep and cattle for him and the people with him and urged him to attack Ramoth Gilead. 3 Ahab king of Israel asked Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?" 
 Jehoshaphat replied, "I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will join you in the war." 4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "First seek the counsel of the LORD." 
 5 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets—four hundred men—and asked them, "Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" 
 "Go," they answered, "for God will give it into the king's hand." 
 6 But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there not a prophet of the LORD here whom we can inquire of?" 
 7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man through whom we can inquire of the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." 
 "The king should not say that," Jehoshaphat replied. 
 8 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, "Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once." 
 9 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance to the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them. 10 Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns, and he declared, "This is what the LORD says: 'With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.' " 
 11 All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. "Attack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious," they said, "for the LORD will give it into the king's hand." 
 12 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, "Look, as one man the other prophets are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably." 
 13 But Micaiah said, "As surely as the LORD lives, I can tell him only what my God says." 
 14 When he arrived, the king asked him, "Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" 
 "Attack and be victorious," he answered, "for they will be given into your hand." 
 15 The king said to him, "How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD ?" 
 16 Then Micaiah answered, "I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the LORD said, 'These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.' " 
 17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Didn't I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?" 
 18 Micaiah continued, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD : I saw the LORD sitting on his throne with all the host of heaven standing on his right and on his left. 19 And the LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab king of Israel into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?' 
 "One suggested this, and another that. 20 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.' 
 " 'By what means?' the LORD asked. 
 21 " 'I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said. 
 " 'You will succeed in enticing him,' said the LORD. 'Go and do it.' 
 22 "So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you." 
 23 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah in the face. "Which way did the spirit from the LORD go when he went from me to speak to you?" he asked. 
 24 Micaiah replied, "You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room."

... till the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, 
 and the desert becomes a fertile field, 
 and the fertile field seems like a forest. 
 
ISAIAH 32 
1 See, a king will reign in righteousness 
 and rulers will rule with justice. 
 2 Each man will be like a shelter from the wind 
 and a refuge from the storm, 
 like streams of water in the desert 
 and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. 
 3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, 
 and the ears of those who hear will listen. 
 4 The mind of the rash will know and understand, 
 and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear. 
 5 No longer will the fool be called noble 
 nor the scoundrel be highly respected. 
 6 For the fool speaks folly, 
 his mind is busy with evil: 
 He practices ungodliness 
 and spreads error concerning the LORD; 
 the hungry he leaves empty 
 and from the thirsty he withholds water. 
 7 The scoundrel's methods are wicked, 
 he makes up evil schemes 
 to destroy the poor with lies, 
 even when the plea of the needy is just. 
 8 But the noble man makes noble plans, 
 and by noble deeds he stands. 
 9 You women who are so complacent, 
 rise up and listen to me; 
 you daughters who feel secure, 
 hear what I have to say! 
 10 In little more than a year 
 you who feel secure will tremble; 
 the grape harvest will fail, 
 and the harvest of fruit will not come. 
 11 Tremble, you complacent women; 
 shudder, you daughters who feel secure! 
 Strip off your clothes, 
 put sackcloth around your waists. 
 12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, 
 for the fruitful vines 
 13 and for the land of my people, 
 a land overgrown with thorns and briers— 
 yes, mourn for all houses of merriment 
 and for this city of revelry. 
 14 The fortress will be abandoned, 
 the noisy city deserted; 
 citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever, 
 the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks, 
 15 till the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, 
 and the desert becomes a fertile field, 
 and the fertile field seems like a forest. 
 16 Justice will dwell in the desert 
 and righteousness live in the fertile field. 
 17 The fruit of righteousness will be peace; 
 the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. 
18 My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, 
 in secure homes, 
 in undisturbed places of rest. 
 19 Though hail flattens the forest 
 and the city is leveled completely, 
 20 how blessed you will be, 
 sowing your seed by every stream, 
 and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.

 2 Each man will be like a shelter from the wind
       and a refuge from the storm,
       like streams of water in the desert
       and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
 3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,
       and the ears of those who hear will listen.
 4 The mind of the rash will know and understand,
       and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
 5 No longer will the fool be called noble
       nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
 6 For the fool speaks folly,
       his mind is busy with evil:
       He practices ungodliness
       and spreads error concerning the LORD;
       the hungry he leaves empty
       and from the thirsty he withholds water.
 7 The scoundrel's methods are wicked

BRT (BIBLE READING TIME) Day24 - Isaiah 32:15

LAMENTATIONS 1 
 1 How deserted lies the city, 
 once so full of people! 
 How like a widow is she, 
 who once was great among the nations! 
 She who was queen among the provinces 
 has now become a slave. 
 2 Bitterly she weeps at night, 
 tears are upon her cheeks. 
 Among all her lovers 
 there is none to comfort her. 
 All her friends have betrayed her; 
 they have become her enemies. 
 3 After affliction and harsh labor, 
 Judah has gone into exile. 
 She dwells among the nations; 
 she finds no resting place. 
 All who pursue her have overtaken her 
 in the midst of her distress. 
 4 The roads to Zion mourn, 
 for no one comes to her appointed feasts. 
 All her gateways are desolate, 
 her priests groan, 
 her maidens grieve, 
 and she is in bitter anguish. 
 5 Her foes have become her masters; 
 her enemies are at ease. 
 The LORD has brought her grief 
 because of her many sins. 
 Her children have gone into exile, 
 captive before the foe. 
 6 All the splendor has departed 
 from the Daughter of Zion. 
 Her princes are like deer 
 that find no pasture; 
 in weakness they have fled 
 before the pursuer. 
 7 In the days of her affliction and wandering 
 Jerusalem remembers all the treasures 
 that were hers in days of old. 
 When her people fell into enemy hands, 
 there was no one to help her. 
 Her enemies looked at her 
 and laughed at her destruction. 
 8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly 
 and so has become unclean. 
 All who honored her despise her, 
 for they have seen her nakedness; 
 she herself groans 
 and turns away. 
 9 Her filthiness clung to her skirts; 
 she did not consider her future. 
 Her fall was astounding; 
 there was none to comfort her. 
 "Look, O LORD, on my affliction, 
 for the enemy has triumphed." 
 10 The enemy laid hands 
 on all her treasures; 
 she saw pagan nations 
 enter her sanctuary— 
 those you had forbidden 
 to enter your assembly. 
 11 All her people groan 
 as they search for bread; 
 they barter their treasures for food 
 to keep themselves alive. 
 "Look, O LORD, and consider, 
 for I am despised." 
 12 "Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? 
 Look around and see. 
 Is any suffering like my suffering 
 that was inflicted on me, 
 that the LORD brought on me 
 in the day of his fierce anger? 
 13 "From on high he sent fire, 
 sent it down into my bones. 
 He spread a net for my feet 
 and turned me back. 
 He made me desolate, 
 faint all the day long. 
 14 "My sins have been bound into a yoke; 
 by his hands they were woven together. 
 They have come upon my neck 
 and the Lord has sapped my strength. 
 He has handed me over 
 to those I cannot withstand. 
 15 "The Lord has rejected 
 all the warriors in my midst; 
 he has summoned an army against me 
 to crush my young men. 
 In his winepress the Lord has trampled 
 the Virgin Daughter of Judah. 
 16 "This is why I weep 
 and my eyes overflow with tears. 
 No one is near to comfort me, 
 no one to restore my spirit. 
 My children are destitute 
 because the enemy has prevailed." 
 17 Zion stretches out her hands, 
 but there is no one to comfort her. 
 The LORD has decreed for Jacob 
 that his neighbors become his foes; 
 Jerusalem has become 
 an unclean thing among them. 
 18 "The LORD is righteous, 
 yet I rebelled against his command. 
 Listen, all you peoples; 
 look upon my suffering. 
 My young men and maidens 
 have gone into exile. 
 19 "I called to my allies 
 but they betrayed me. 
 My priests and my elders 
 perished in the city 
 while they searched for food 
 to keep themselves alive. 
 20 "See, O LORD, how distressed I am! 
 I am in torment within, 
 and in my heart I am disturbed, 
 for I have been most rebellious. 
 Outside, the sword bereaves; 
 inside, there is only death. 
21 "People have heard my groaning, 
 but there is no one to comfort me. 
 All my enemies have heard of my distress; 
 they rejoice at what you have done. 
 May you bring the day you have announced 
 so they may become like me. 
 22 "Let all their wickedness come before you; 
 deal with them 
 as you have dealt with me 
 because of all my sins. 
 My groans are many 
 and my heart is faint."

BRT (BIBLE READING TIME) Day23 - Lamentations 1:9

19 and the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder. Then Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him. 
 
EXODUS 19 
1 In the third month after the Israelites left Egypt—on the very day—they came to the Desert of Sinai. 2 After they set out from Rephidim, they entered the Desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain. 
 3 Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said, "This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 4 'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites." 
 7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the LORD had commanded him to speak. 8 The people all responded together, "We will do everything the LORD has said." So Moses brought their answer back to the LORD. 
 9 The LORD said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you." Then Moses told the LORD what the people had said. 
 10 And the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes 11 and be ready by the third day, because on that day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 Put limits for the people around the mountain and tell them, 'Be careful that you do not go up the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13 He shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows; not a hand is to be laid on him. Whether man or animal, he shall not be permitted to live.' Only when the ram's horn sounds a long blast may they go up to the mountain." 
 14 After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes. 15 Then he said to the people, "Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain from sexual relations." 
 16 On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. 17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, the whole mountain trembled violently, 19 and the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder. Then Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him. 
 20 The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up 21 and the LORD said to him, "Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the LORD and many of them perish. 22 Even the priests, who approach the LORD, must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them." 
 23 Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, 'Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.' " 
 24 The LORD replied, "Go down and bring Aaron up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the LORD, or he will break out against them." 
 25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, 
 he was crushed for our iniquities; 
 the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, 
 and by his wounds we are healed. 
 
ISAIAH 53:4-12 
4 Surely he took up our infirmities 
 and carried our sorrows, 
 yet we considered him stricken by God, 
 smitten by him, and afflicted. 
 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, 
 he was crushed for our iniquities; 
 the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, 
 and by his wounds we are healed. 
 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, 
 each of us has turned to his own way; 
 and the LORD has laid on him 
 the iniquity of us all. 
 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, 
 yet he did not open his mouth; 
 he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, 
 and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, 
 so he did not open his mouth. 
 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. 
 And who can speak of his descendants? 
 For he was cut off from the land of the living; 
 for the transgression of my people he was stricken. 
 9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, 
 and with the rich in his death, 
 though he had done no violence, 
 nor was any deceit in his mouth. 
 10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, 
 and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, 
 he will see his offspring and prolong his days, 
 and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand. 
 11 After the suffering of his soul, 
 he will see the light of life and be satisfied ; 
 by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, 
 and he will bear their iniquities. 
 12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, 
 and he will divide the spoils with the strong, 
 because he poured out his life unto death, 
 and was numbered with the transgressors. 
 For he bore the sin of many, 
 and made intercession for the transgressors.

BRT (BIBLE READING TIME) Day20 - Isaiah 53:5

8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. 
31 So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 
 
MATTHEW 10 
1He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. 
 2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 
 5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; 10take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep. 
 11"Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. 12As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. 15I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. 16I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. 
 17"Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues. 18On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 
 21"Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 23When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. 
 24"A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25It is enough for the student to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, 
how much more the members of his household! 
 26"So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 
 32"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. 
 34"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn 
 " 'a man against his father, 
 a daughter against her mother, 
 a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - 
 36a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' 
 37"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 
 40"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. 42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."

 I will turn the desert into pools of water,

BRT (BIBLE READING TIME) Day19 - Isaiah 41:17

Jehoiakim paid Pharaoh Neco the silver and gold he demanded. In order to do so, he taxed the land and exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land according to their assessments. 
 
2 KINGS 23:29 - 24:7 
 29 While Josiah was king, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria. King Josiah marched out to meet him in battle, but Neco faced him and killed him at Megiddo. 30 Josiah's servants brought his body in a chariot from Megiddo to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father. 
 31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. 32 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his fathers had done. 33 Pharaoh Neco put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 34 Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah and changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, and there he died. 35 Jehoiakim paid Pharaoh Neco the silver and gold he demanded. In order to do so, he taxed the land and exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land according to their assessments. 
 36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother's name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah. 37 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his fathers had done. 
2 Kings 24 
 1 During Jehoiakim's reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the land, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. But then he changed his mind and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar. 2 The LORD sent Babylonian, Aramean, Moabite and Ammonite raiders against him. He sent them to destroy Judah, in accordance with the word of the LORD proclaimed by his servants the prophets. 3 Surely these things happened to Judah according to the LORD's command, in order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all he had done, 4 including the shedding of innocent blood. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was not willing to forgive. 
 5 As for the other events of Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 6 Jehoiakim rested with his fathers. And Jehoiachin his son succeeded him as king. 
 7 The king of Egypt did not march out from his own country again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.

 " 'You are my Son; 
 today I have become your Father. 
 
ACTS 13:26-45 
26"Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. 27The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. 28Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30But God raised him from the dead, 31and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people. 
 32"We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers 33he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: 
 " 'You are my Son; 
 today I have become your Father.' 34The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these words: 
 " 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.' 35So it is stated elsewhere: 
 " 'You will not let your Holy One see decay.' 
 36"For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. 37But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay. 
 38"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. 40Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you: 
 41" 'Look, you scoffers, 
 wonder and perish, 
 for I am going to do something in your days 
 that you would never believe, 
 even if someone told you.'" 
 42As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. 
 44On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying.

Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?' 
 
EZEKIEL 33:7-20 
7 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself. 
 10 "Son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'This is what you are saying: "Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?" ' 11 Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?' 
 12 "Therefore, son of man, say to your countrymen, 'The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he disobeys, and the wickedness of the wicked man will not cause him to fall when he turns from it. The righteous man, if he sins, will not be allowed to live because of his former righteousness.' 13 If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but then he trusts in his righteousness and does evil, none of the righteous things he has done will be remembered; he will die for the evil he has done. 14 And if I say to the wicked man, 'You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right- 15 if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die. 16 None of the sins he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live. 
 17 "Yet your countrymen say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just. 18 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it. 19 And if a wicked man turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live by doing so. 20 Yet, O house of Israel, you say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But I will judge each of you according to his own ways."

BRT (BIBLE READING TIME) Day11 - Ezekiel 33:11

27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship. 
 
JEREMIAH 23:13-40 
 13 "Among the prophets of Samaria 
 I saw this repulsive thing: 
 They prophesied by Baal 
 and led my people Israel astray. 
 14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem 
 I have seen something horrible: 
 They commit adultery and live a lie. 
 They strengthen the hands of evildoers, 
 so that no one turns from his wickedness. 
 They are all like Sodom to me; 
 the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah." 
 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty says concerning the prophets: 
 "I will make them eat bitter food 
 and drink poisoned water, 
 because from the prophets of Jerusalem 
 ungodliness has spread throughout the land." 
 16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: 
 "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; 
 they fill you with false hopes. 
 They speak visions from their own minds, 
 not from the mouth of the LORD. 
 17 They keep saying to those who despise me, 
 'The LORD says: You will have peace.' 
 And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts 
 they say, 'No harm will come to you.' 
 18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD 
 to see or to hear his word? 
 Who has listened and heard his word? 
 19 See, the storm of the LORD 
 will burst out in wrath, 
 a whirlwind swirling down 
 on the heads of the wicked. 
 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back 
 until he fully accomplishes 
 the purposes of his heart. 
 In days to come 
 you will understand it clearly. 
 21 I did not send these prophets, 
 yet they have run with their message; 
 I did not speak to them, 
 yet they have prophesied. 
 22 But if they had stood in my council, 
 they would have proclaimed my words to my people 
 and would have turned them from their evil ways 
 and from their evil deeds. 
 23 "Am I only a God nearby," 
 declares the LORD, 
 "and not a God far away? 
 24 Can anyone hide in secret places 
 so that I cannot see him?" 
 declares the LORD. 
 "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" 
 declares the LORD. 
 25 "I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship. 28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?" declares the LORD. 29 "Is not my word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? 
 30 "Therefore," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The LORD declares.' 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the LORD. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the LORD. 
 33 "When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, 'What is the oracle of the LORD ?' say to them, 'What oracle? I will forsake you, declares the LORD.' 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' I will punish that man and his household. 35 This is what each of you keeps on saying to his friend or relative: 'What is the LORD's answer?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?' 36 But you must not mention 'the oracle of the LORD ' again, because every man's own word becomes his oracle and so you distort the words of the living God, the LORD Almighty, our God. 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: 'What is the LORD's answer to you?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?' 38 Although you claim, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' this is what the LORD says: You used the words, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' even though I told you that you must not claim, 'This is the oracle of the LORD.' 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your fathers. 40 I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace—everlasting shame that will not be forgotten."

In it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 4 It will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests, who minister in the sanctuary and who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses as well as a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 An area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide will belong to the Levites, who serve in the temple, as their possession for towns to live in.

It will extend westward from the west side and eastward from the east side, running lengthwise from the western to the eastern border parallel to one of the tribal portions. 8 This land will be his possession in Israel.
