Psalm 138
I praise God because God helped me, even though I am one of the lowly.
Psalm 139
God, you know everything about me, even when I was still in my mother’s womb, and I am amazed at your knowledge. Help me to remove all evil from the world.
Isaiah 65:1-9 What’s Isaiah about?
Even though the people were faithless, God constantly waited for them to return. Even though God ought to have repaid them for their evil, and there were consequences for their evil, God ensured they were not destroyed.
John 6: 1-14 What’s John about?
Jesus takes a tiny amount of food and feeds 5,000 people with 12 baskets left over. However small the gift we have, God is able to do enormous things when we allow Jesus to use it in God’s generosity.
Even today Christianity struggles, as the disciples did, to take seriously such radical generosity, and not be seduced by the lure of power.
This week’s collect:
Eternal God,
who by a star
led wise ones to the worship of your Son.
Guide by your light the nations of the earth,
that the whole world may know your glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
