Yesterday we heard about the seven important yearly celebrations of the Jewish religion. Then we heard about oil and bread for the tabernacle, and then there was the example of a law-break who was stoned to death for his crime of blasphemy.

Today we read the most famous psalm of all. My wife has often said: Psalm 23 is so often quoted at funerals, but this is a psalm about living, not dying!

Yesterday in Luke 15, we heard the three-part parable of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son. There is much treasure to dig for there! Consider taking some time to reflect on that wonderful chapter.
Translation notes:
6 The man replied, ‘I owe him 800 gallons of olive oil.’ So the manager told him, ‘[My dear friend, take//Take] the bill and quickly change it to 400 gallons.’
7 “‘And how much do you owe my employer?’ he asked
the next man. ‘I owe him 1,000 bushels of wheat,’ was the
reply. ‘Here, [my friend,/0]’ the manager said, ‘take the bill and change it to 800 bushels.’
9 Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make [heavenly/0] friends. Then, when your earthly possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an
eternal home.
