- Psalm 26
- Genesis 25:1-18
- 1 Chronicles 29:22-30
- Luke 18:1-30
Observations:
In the psalm, we see David asking the Lord for vindication, proclaiming to God how he has searched and endeavoured after him, avoiding the wicked and concerning himself with what is righteous.
In Genesis, we see the remarriage of Abraham, the death and burial of Abraham (next to Sarah, attended by Isaac & Ishmael), and the descendants of the sons of Abraham's second wife and those of Ishmael.
In 1 Chronicles, we see Solomon's coronation & David's death.
In the first parable in Luke, we see Jesus telling his followers to be persistent in their petitions to God. In the second, we see Jesus demonstrating the importance of humility before God. Following that, we see how Christ viewed children and the nature that faith should have. Last, we see Christ demanding not only obedience to God, but complete sacrifice of self, noting that it is not by the accumulation of wealth or deeds one gains access to heaven, but through God alone
Application:
Honestly, I don't see a great deal that applies to the circumstance I'm in other than to pray consistently
