Evening: Psalm 119:73-96; Luke 19:11-27
Writing
to the Corinthians, St. Paul goes on a rant that any empathetic
listener would be ashamed of - Paul himself admits he sounds like a
madman. He goes on about all the terrible things he has suffered. It’s
reminiscent of the three Yorkshiremen in Monty Python one-upping one
another about who had the worst childhood. Why? Paul says it’s to show
how in his weakness he had to depend on God. And God always came
through for him. It’s as if Paul’s saying, “You think you’ve got
problems! Make sure you don’t just depend on yourself for answers.”
