Job 7: 1 -
4, 6 - 7
|
| 1 |
"Has not man a hard service upon earth, and
are not his days like the days of a hireling? |
| 2 |
Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and
like a hireling who looks for his wages, |
| 3 |
so I am allotted months of emptiness, and
nights of misery are apportioned to me. |
| 4 |
When I lie down I say, `When shall I arise?'
But the night is long, and I am full of tossing till the dawn. |
| 6 |
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,
and come to their end without hope. |
| 7 |
"Remember that my life is a breath; my eye
will never again see good. |
Psalms 147:
1 - 6
|
| 1 |
Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing
praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is seemly.
|
| 2 |
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the
outcasts of Israel. |
| 3 |
He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up
their wounds. |
| 4 |
He determines the number of the stars, he
gives to all of them their names. |
| 5 |
Great is our LORD, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure. |
| 6 |
The LORD lifts up the downtrodden, he casts
the wicked to the ground. |

Corinthians 9: 16 - 19, 22 - 23
|
| 16 |
For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no
ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach
the gospel! |
| 17 |
For if I do this of my own will, I have a
reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission.
|
| 18 |
What then is my reward? Just this: that in
my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my
right in the gospel. |
| 19 |
For though I am free from all men, I have
made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. |
| 22 |
To the weak I became weak, that I might win
the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save
some. |
| 23 |
I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that
I may share in its blessings. |
Mark 1: 29
- 39
|
| 29 |
And immediately he left the synagogue, and
entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. |
| 30 |
Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a
fever, and immediately they told him of her. |
| 31 |
And he came and took her by the hand and
lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them. |
| 32 |
That evening, at sundown, they brought to
him all who were sick or possessed with demons. |
| 33 |
And the whole city was gathered together
about the door. |
| 34 |
And he healed many who were sick with
various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons
to speak, because they knew him. |
| 35 |
And in the morning, a great while before
day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.
|
| 36 |
And Simon and those who were with him
pursued him, |
| 37 |
and they found him and said to him, "Every
one is searching for you." |
| 38 |
And he said to them, "Let us go on to the
next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out."
|
| 39 |
And he went throughout all Galilee,
preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. |
