First Reading
Isaiah 50:4-7
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
4The Lord has given me a learned tongue, that I should know how to uphold by word him that is weary: he wakeneth in the morning, in the morning he wakeneth my ear, that I may hear him as a master.
5The Lord God has opened my ear, and I do not stand against: I have not gone back.
6I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me, and spit upon me.
7The Lord God is my helper, therefore am I not put to shame: therefore have I set my face as a most hard rock, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
