Miracles around us; what we need is here

Morning: Psalms 107:33-43; 108:1-13; Ezekiel 36:22-27; Matthew 9:18-26

Evening: Psalm 33; Exodus 19:3-8a, 16-20; I Peter 2:4-10

 “The report [of what Jesus did] spread throughout that district”, says Matthew. Jesus healed a woman suffering from a bleeding disorder, and also a twelve-year-old girl. Nowadays, astounding news ‘goes viral’ on the worldwide web. But attention spans are short and amazement short-lived. Our almost insatiable hunger for amazement is not easily satisfied. If we are to grow in the love that heals us, it will depend on our cultivating in ourselves the capacity to be amazed at the daily miracles all around us. Wendell Berry has rightly said ... What we need is here.
