Following the Star

Pause

I want to be an instrument of your peace
I want to talk about your love
of what you did for me
How can I forget?
I want to help others
That’s my prayer

Here are my hands
Here is my voice
Here are my feet
I want to go
Use my life if I am useful to you
God

translated from Spanish, Daniel Calvetti in “Instrumento de tu Paz” (2009)

Listen

They won’t harm or destroy anywhere on my holy mountain. The earth will surely be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, just as the water covers the sea.

On that day, the root of Jesse will stand as a signal to the peoples. The nations will seek him out, and his dwelling will be glorious.

Isaiah 11:9-10

Think

Can followers of Jesus be violent, hateful, or hostile? No. Hate, violence, and hostility have no place in God’s Kingdom. If you are caught in these ways, repent and leave them behind.

Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

Satisfaction, abundance, and peace are the product of delighting in the knowledge of God… so wide and so deep as the seas covering the earth.

Seek peace and go after it! Seek satisfaction in the knowledge of the divine and eternal God.

Elket Rodriguez

Pray

Dear God, you are enough for me, and I am enough for you.

Help me find peace and satisfaction in you.

Lead me to repentance; lead me to you.

Amen.

Go

Only in God do I find rest; my salvation comes from him.

Psalm 62:1
