Morning
Pack this sentence from Ezra 3:1 with lunch: “When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.” Ask, where might we need the idea of “seventh” today?
Bedtime prayer
Lord, we do not want to rush past “When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.” Forgive us where we forgot you today, and let Ezra 3:1 rest on us while we sleep. Amen.

Pray Ezra 3:1 for someone who is not in the room.
