Galatians 4:22-24, 26-27, 31–5:1
Psalm 113
Luke 11:29-32
From the rising of the sun to its setting let the name of the Lord be praised. Ps. 113:3
“This generation…seeks a sign.” Lk. 11:29
Lord, the people of your time wanted a sign as proof of who you were and from where your power came. Not much has changed in 20 plus centuries. People today look for evidence and signs of your presence and even existence. So many don’t see what they seek. Some see signs of you everywhere, others see nothing. For those who have faith the physical world is full of signs of your awesome design. For those with faith your presence is in every sunrise, every breath we take every gesture of love. The greatest sign of all is a God becoming human and giving his life for sinful humanity. Lord, help me to become more aware of your presence in and around me. Make me a sign to to others of your love and compassion. Open my heart to all the wonders you have prepared for me. Give me a faith filled vision to see your signs then I can count from the rising of the sun to its setting. Lord, I turn every uncertainty in my life over to you. Teach me how to live in faith and confidence in you. Amen.
