First Lesson
Numbers 14:11-25
11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke
me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the
signs which I have shown among them?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them,
and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear
it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among
them;)
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for
they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou
LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over
them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar
of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the
nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the
land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in
the wilderness.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great,
according as thou hast spoken, saying,
18 The
LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity
and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation.
19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according
unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this
people, from Egypt even until now.
20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with
the glory of the LORD.
22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles,
which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted
me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their
fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him,
and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto
he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.)
Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way
of the Red sea.

Second Lesson
Hebrews 13:17-25
17
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:
for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account,
that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is
unprofitable for you.
18 Pray
for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things
willing to live honestly.
19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored
to you the sooner.
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our
Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood
of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working
in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus
Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation:
for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom,
if he come shortly, I will see you.
24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints.
They of Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
Do I pray for my spiritual leaders? (V. 18) Do I obey them? (V. 17) RESOLVE.
