What then will you become?

Morning: Psalm 80; 2 Samuel 7:18–29; Galatians 3:1–14

Evening: Psalm 146, 147; Isaiah 29:13-24; Luke 1:57–66

Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore said: “Every child that is born comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of (humankind).” The momentous news of a pregnancy, or a birth, both leaves you speechless, and fills you with hope.  New life makes you ask what they asked when John the Baptist was born, “What then will this child become?”  You may think of fame, or accomplishments.  John’s story teaches you, though, that you become great when you point consistently beyond yourself to the Love that is the source of all life.
