Matthew 10:24-42 Dear RTB’ers, It’s February! Already…? I’m thankful to say goodbye to January. We’ve been in one of the worst cold, snow conditions that I can remember in the past many years. Praying for a better February and an early Spring!! Anxiety. It’s not only in the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus talks …

January 31 / Matthew 9:35-10:23
Matthew 9:35-10:23 Dear RTB’ers, Jesus now leaves Capernaum and travels throughout Galilee, sending the Twelve to do the same after giving them instructions. He also predicts trouble for them: Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves… Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog …
January 30 / Matthew 9:9-34
Matthew 9:9-34 Dear RTB’ers, Today, Jesus’ calling of Matthew (Levi) and another three healing miracles. Two of these healings were prophesied by Isaiah: Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing …
January 29 / Matthew 8:23-9:8
Matthew 8:23-9:8 Dear RTB’ers, Yesterday’s STS introduction told us that we would be reading three sets of three miracles each in Matthew’s chapters 8 and 9. Yesterday we saw three healings – leprosy, paralysis, and a fever. Today we see the second of these three sets of miracles – Jesus calming the storm, casting out …
January 28 / Matthew 8:1-22
Matthew 8:1-22 Dear RTB’ers, Back to Matthew for the next couple of weeks. Jesus has finished His “Sermon on the Mount”; immediately we see Him healing all kinds of infirmities – leprosy, paralysis, a fever, and …many who were oppressed by demons, and He cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who …
January 27 / Obadiah
Obadiah 1-21 Dear RTB’ers, Obadiah, our final minor prophet during this stretch of RTB readings. Our STS authors give us a good introduction to Obadiah. I would especially encourage you to read their citation of Numbers 20:14-21. Those verses tell of Edom’s refusal to allow Israel to pass through their territory on their journey from …
January 26 / Habakkuk 3
Habakkuk 3 Dear RTB’ers, We are covering two STS assignments today to make up for one of the four we fell short last year. Without the STS intro and my Study Bible I would have been lost in today’s reading. Habakkuk is using poetic environmental images to describe Israel’s escape from Egypt and entry into …
January 25 / Habakkuk 2:6-20
Habakkuk 2:6-20 Dear RTB’ers, Today we continue the Lord’s second response to Habakkuk’s questions. We began this response yesterday with a one-word message: Wait. Today He pronounces five woes on the Chaldeans (Babylonians). Mostly I see the essence of those woes as chastisement on the Babylonians for plundering, for taking what is not theirs and …
January 24 / Habakkuk 1:1-2:5
Habakkuk 1:1-2:5 Dear RTB’ers, Habakkuk – the fifth of six minor prophets during this stretch of RTB readings. I feel like the STS authors should have done a better job at laying out this book. The text is actually a conversation between Habakkuk and God, with Habakkuk questioning and God answering. You’ll see God speaking …
