Monday 27th January
Where we have come from:
readings for Third Sunday after Epiphany
Isaiah 9:1-4
Psalm 27:1, 4-9
1 Corinthians 1:10-18
Matthew 4:12-23
readings for today
Judges 6:11-24
Ephesians 5:6-14
thought for the day.
Ever year the sunday readings towards the end of February (the 2nd and 3rd after Epiphany), help is reflect on Call. The call on Jesus, and on the disciples, and indeed on us. We are all inclined to be like Gideon, casting doubt on God's presence in the world, making excuses and looking for signs. We all need to hear the encouraging words from Ephesians, challenging us, again, to wake up and rise from the dead in response to the call that God issues to us.
As an aside - interesting that today's psalm is the same one used on Sunday, and for thursday - saturday next week, just different, but overlapping, verses. How does it feel dipping into Psalm 27 in a different way? Perhaps we should tray reading Psalm 27 in its entirety over the next few days.
