Today is Sunday, the day Christians like to worship. Though no particular day of the week is required, we like to worship on Sundays because Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday. Also, the disciples were gathered together when Jesus appeared that day, and on Sunday the following week when he appeared again. And on Pentecost, which was on a Sunday, they were gathered together as well. And in the Book of Acts we see them gathering together to hear preaching and His Word on "the Lord's Day," a.k.a. Sunday.
A great hymn about worshiping on Sunday is "O Day of Rest and Gladness" - Lutheran Service Book, 906. Today you might meditate on the excellent text of that hymn. I love the reference to the "three-fold light" given on three important Sundays in the past! Check it out to see what I mean.
There is no assigned Bible reading today. I'm assuming that you have gone (or will go) to the Lord's house to worship and meditate on the readings, and the sermon proclaimed by the pastor.
Blessings on your continued meditation on Scripture!
Study with me tomorrow,
Pastor Jon
Soli Deo Gloria!
