Daily Bible Reading Day 195

Psalms 10-12;  Acts 17:16-34.  Psalm 10 is the first psalm since #3 that doesn't have a title.  The psalms complains that God is being aloof when he is needed. The wicked prosper and do their thing In spite of complaining about God not responding the writer does take refuge in God. This is probably where the lyrics "Flee as a Bird" came from.  Psalm 12 again asks the Lord's help because the wicked are always trying to gain control. The wicked strut but aren't really in control. Still we need to know The Lord is helping.

Paul is provoked by the all the idols in Athens. His team isn't fully there but he goes to the synagogue and the marketplace. The marketplace seems the most intrigued by what he is saying. He is taken to the Areopagus in order for him to share his teaching.This is certainly a more known speech by Paul. He ends with his appeal to judgment of the whole world in the future based upon the resurrection of Jesus. Most sneer and are unconvinced, but some are.
