One month down!  Well done.  I love the fact that people are talking about what they are reading.

I came across another helpful resource recently:  bible.is.  It contains text and also the Word read aloud.  There is also an app for your smartphone.

Here is today’s Bible reading:  Exodus 12:14-13:16; Matthew 20:29-21:22; Psalm 25:16-22; Proverbs 6:12-15.

Matthew 20:30-31 (NIV)
Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
[31] The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

When you are desperate you don’t care about your pride anymore.  You don’t care about what others think.  You shout, cry out, and make an ugly scene until you receive what you need.  I wonder if we would receive more from the Lord if we cried out with this same sense of desperation found in the blind men, if we stopped caring about what others think and only cared about what God thinks.
