The Daily Readings for Tuesday, October 27, 2015

Meditation: Romans 8:18 I don’t think the sufferings we are going through now are even worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us in the future. 19 The creation waits eagerly for the sons of God to be revealed; 20 for the creation was made subject to frustration — not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it. But it was given a reliable hope 21 that it too would be set free from its bondage to decay and would enjoy the freedom accompanying the glory that God’s children will have. 22 We know that until now, the whole creation has been groaning as with the pains of childbirth; 23 and not only it, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we continue waiting eagerly to be made sons — that is, to have our whole bodies redeemed and set free. 24 It was in this hope that we were saved. But if we see what we hope for, it isn’t hope — after all, who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we continue hoping for something we don’t see, then we still wait eagerly for it, with perseverance.
Psalm 126: (0) A song of ascents:

(1) When Adonai restored Tziyon’s fortunes,

we thought we were dreaming.

2 Our mouths were full of laughter,

and our tongues shouted for joy.

Among the nations it was said,

“Adonai has done great things for them!”

3 Adonai did do great things with us;

and we are overjoyed.

4 Return our people from exile, Adonai,

as streams fill vadis in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears

will reap with cries of joy.

6 He who goes out weeping

as he carries his sack of seed

will come home with cries of joy

as he carries his sheaves of grain.

Luke 13:18 So he went on to say, “What is the Kingdom of God like? With what will we compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his own garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds flying about nested in its branches.”

20 Again he said, “With what will I compare the Kingdom of God? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with a bushel of flour, then waited until the whole batch of dough rose.”
