Even as you hit the fast lane of life with furious strides that brook no brakes, won’t you pause a moment to grab a grain of scriptural truth embedded herein ? (click on hypertext in the Day’s Reading for reference verse)
No obligations! You are ofcourse perfectly at liberty to skip these Readings altogether. Should that be your choice, go ahead – save 30 seconds!

Give us seven days
The people of Jabesh-Gilead were in a bind. If no one comes to their rescue, in seven days’ time they will all lose their right eyes. Their desperate plea for help reaches Saul’s ears and God moves him to mount a dramatic assault on the Ammonites.
Though God is sovereign and cannot be bracketed into any frame, here we find Him acting within the time-table set by the elders of Jabesh.
But God can also turn the time-table upside down!
