In the Psalms we have four psalms of David which cover different life situations and appeals to God.
We also complete Paul's letter to the Ephesians with the final two chapters giving advice on relationships and that wonderful section on the armor of God.
In addition we read an entire book in one day! It is Paul's letter to Philemon about his runaway slave Onesimus and how faith in Christ has changed that relationship.
Towards the end of the week we start our readings in our second gospel Luke with the birth stories of John the Baptist and Jesus.
Quite a variety of readings this week! The Bible is made up of books of all different types.

* We read Luke 3 in January but you may wish to read it again for continuity.
I have always loved the story of Onesimus, whose name means "Useful." I can't think of a more desirable nickname for a Christian servant. Ann Carter
