Whom shall I serve?

Morning: Psalm 16, 17; Isaiah 42:1-17; Ephesians 3:1-13
Evening: Psalm 22; Mark 2:13-22
The writer of the Psalms is honest about the key struggle of the spiritual life – whether to serve God, or be content with idols?  Sometimes the Psalmist feels forsaken, but he persists in believing that God is near. And God has come near in a new way in Jesus; God’s spirit was upon him, to bring out justice on earth.  It is now the church that is entrusted with making God’s wisdom known. How? As we become Jesus’ disciples, we learn from him how to live wisely, and the Spirit empowers us to do so.
