Scripture:
Wisdom 2:1a, 12-22
John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30
Reflection:
What a time we live in! Did you ever imagine that we would be staying fast in our homes, our friends would lose their jobs, that we would be praying through God’s infinite mercy that our businesses would make it through this turmoil? Yet, here we are. But, scripture tells us today,
When the just cry out, the LORD hears them,
and from all their distress he rescues them.
He is there, as He has always been, holding and comforting us, assuring us that all is well. Find time in the midst of uncertainty to pray; find a quiet space to read your bible and work on your daily meditation of scripture and reflection. Turn this time into a gift from God directly to you! Of course this can be scary and unsure, but make it something more – devote it to God, and find his peace and goodness and mercy in all things. I pray for you and your families, that you overcome any illness, you are safe, and that you remember the presence and love of almighty God in every action.
