Today's Reading - June 1, 2010

2 Samuel 18:1-19:10
John 20:1-31
Psalm 119:153-176
Proverbs 16:14-15


Question of the day: Why did Ahimaaz want to run to tell David the news but then lie about what he knew of the death of Absalom?

Ahimaaz could have wanted to curry David's favor by bringing him good news, and was unwilling or unable to give David any bad news either out of consideration for David's feelings. Often the messenger was killed when bad news was received, as evidenced by the old saying, "Don't shoot the messenger."
