WE WOULD
LIKE A SIGN
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The scribes and Pharisees spoke up,
‘Master,’ they said, ‘we would like to see a sign from you.’” (Matthew 12:38-42)
Reflection. The Jews grumbled against Moses during
their journey to freedom. The Pharisees grumbled that Jesus was opening up
unmapped new territory. And we are not so wonderful ourselves! We enjoy our
security: where we are now. It is familiar territory. We don’t want to move.
That is always the struggle; to move into the unknown. We sense it will bring
us new life and new freedom but the price often seems too much.
Prayer. Lord Jesus, give us the courage to
welcome new opportunities, things that stretch us beyond where we are now. Amen.
