Morning: Psalm 31; Proverbs 23:19-21, 29-24:2; 1 Timothy 5:17-25
Evening: Psalm 35; Matthew 13:31-35
Jesus
describes in parables what he calls the “kingdom of heaven” … not in
specific terms but enough that you know his vision of human destiny is
of something very good. This “kingdom” will really come here ‘on
earth’, but not without challenges. Even as goodness grows in the
world, evil forces may attempt to supplant it … but to no avail. The
parables of mustard seed and yeast express the hope that even small,
apparently insignificant, influences may be such a power for good that
goodness itself will come to define our lives. Indeed, that’s possible
now.
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”.
