The Daily Readings for Friday, December 4, 2015

Isaiah 29:17 In but a little while the L’vanon

will be turned into a fruitful field,

and the fruitful field regarded as a forest.

18 On that day the deaf

will hear the words of a book,

and out of gloom and darkness

the eyes of the blind will see.

19 The humble will again rejoice in Adonai

and the poor exult in the Holy One of Isra’el,

20 for the tyrant is now nothing, the scoffer is finished,

and all alert to do evil are cut off —

21 those whose words make a man out to be a sinner,

those who set traps for the arbitrator at the city gate,

and those who groundlessly deny justice

to the one in the right.

22 Therefore, here are the words of Adonai, who redeemed Avraham, concerning the house of Ya‘akov:

“Ya‘akov will no longer be ashamed,

no longer will his face grow pale.

23 When his descendants see the work of my hands

among them, they will consecrate my name.

Yes, they will consecrate the Holy one of Ya‘akov

and stand in awe of the God of Isra’el.

24 Those whose spirits stray will come to understand,

and those who complain will learn their lesson.

Psalm 27:(0) By David:

(1) Adonai is my light and salvation;

whom do I need to fear?

Adonai is the stronghold of my life;

of whom should I be afraid?

4 Just one thing have I asked of Adonai;

only this will I seek:

to live in the house of Adonai

all the days of my life,

to see the beauty of Adonai

and visit in his temple.

13 If I hadn’t believed that I would see

Adonai’s goodness in the land of the living, . . .

14 Put your hope in Adonai, be strong,

and let your heart take courage!

Yes, put your hope in Adonai!

Matthew 9:27 As Yeshua went on from there, two blind men began following him, shouting, “Son of David! Take pity on us!” 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came up, and Yeshua said to them, “Do you believe that I have the power to do this?” They replied, “Yes, sir.” 29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it happen to you according to your trust”; 30 and their sight was restored. Yeshua warned them severely, “See that no one knows about it.” 31 But instead, they went away and talked about him throughout that district.
