Morning: Psalms 41, 52; Genesis 37:1-11; I Corinthians 1:1-19
Evening: Psalm 44; Mark 1:1–13
The
story says the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted.
‘Wilderness’ is often a metaphor for a place or time of proving. It’s
impossible to live and avoid wilderness experiences of one kind or
another. In one version of Jesus’s story, in the wilderness he faced his
‘demons’. Wilderness is the potential threshold of a new reality. But
first it may be a frightening encounter with part of ourselves that we
do not want to face. When we come to ourselves, though, as the Prodigal
Son did in another story, the wilderness will have done its work.
Daily readings, thoughts from Graham. Pilgrims on the Way to the shrine of the apostle James in Spain shout a greeting to one another: “Ultreya!”; "Keep going", "Press on", “Onward”.
