Vocation has no expiration date

Morning: Psalm 89:1-18; Genesis 49:1-28; I Corinthians 10:14-11:1

Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; Mark 7:24-37

I almost did not notice this line: “Jesus entered a house and didn’t want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice”. You don’t usually imagine Jesus hiding out! How could such a gifted healer escape notice, one so close to the heart of love? No, Jesus slowly recognized his mission; finally, he cannot escape his destiny. Joining Jesus in his mission, we may find ours. Or, we may choose to stay in hiding. Jesus could not. Ask yourself: What’s my calling now? (By the way, a calling does not automatically expire at retirement.)
