Listen

As God’s household, you are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. The whole building is joined together in him, and it grows up into a temple that is dedicated to the Lord.

Ephesians 2:20-21

Think

Have you ever tried to put furniture together all by yourself? I’ve tried before, and it was an incredibly frustrating experience. I kept losing pieces, and it would take me a long time to figure out the directions. I wanted to quit before I had finished! When I asked a friend to come help me though, the process was much smoother, quicker, and I ended up having fun spending time with them!

We are not meant to be alone in God’s story. God created all of us to be together as we revel in God’s love and creation, and to rely on each other when we need help. The story of God doesn’t exist outside of the community that tells it and lives it. Life in God’s story is better when it’s with others! When we are together in God’s love, we are in the goodness that we were created in.

Pray

God of hope, help me rely on those around me who seek to help me. Let me be a hand of help to them as well. Amen.

Go

God calls us to join the story of God’s goodness and creation.

Go and find where God is calling you, in the smallness and largeness of the world.

Go in fellowship, in love, and grow in the story that God has for us.
