Today’s scripture reading is Matthew 2:13-23<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just so that you are not confused, it’s important to know that there are a few Herods during, just before, and after the time of Jesus. You can read an overview of that here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where previous did Joseph receive a message through a dream?<\/p>\n

Read Hosea 11:1<\/a><\/p>\n

Read Jeremiah 31:15<\/a><\/p>\n

Nazareth was not known for wealth or people of high public stature.<\/p>\n

Read Isaiah 11:1<\/a><\/p>\n

What does a stem imply? What does a shoot growing from root stock imply?<\/p>\n

Does this mean coming from an established house of wealth or poverty?<\/p>\n

Read Isaiah 53:2<\/a><\/p>\n

Does this imply the same?<\/p>\n

Does this imply physical beauty?<\/p>\n

Read Judges 13-16<\/a><\/p>\n

Samson was a Nazarite from birth. How does his story foreshadow that of Jesus’?<\/p>\n

How are they different?<\/p>\n

This daily devotional is simple. <\/em><\/p>\n

We post a scripture passage to read. We provide a link if you do not have a bible to read it on the web. If you are not fond of the version used, you can easily change to the version or translation you prefer.<\/em><\/p>\n

We then post questions about the text you just read. <\/em><\/p>\n

We do not have an answer key for the questions, the answer is found in your relationship with God.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the scripture, we have a link to an independent Christian music artist and their song. Maybe the song is a cover of a well known worship song, maybe the song is an original, and sometimes the recording isn’t what you would find from a high end studio, but we believe there is something of value in the recording. <\/em><\/p>\n

However you come about this devotional, we pray that your relationship is strengthened with God and that you grow in grace, love and truth.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
