Ordinary Time

Pause

I want to walk as a child of the light.
I want to follow Jesus.

Kathleen Thomerson in
“I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light” (1970)

Listen

Therefore, my loved ones, just as you always obey me, not just when I am present but now even more while I am away, carry out your own salvation with fear and trembling. God is the one who enables you both to want and to actually live out his good purposes.

Philippians 2:12-13

Think

Let us take a moment to marvel in this day….

Breathe in.
God in your inspiration.

Now breathe out.
God in your doing.

Repeat this again. And again. And again.

Let this be your mantra for the day, or the week, or the year.

God inspires you to want to walk the path, and God is the one who lights the way for you.

God is in all things.

God is near.

Amen.

Wendy Johnson

Question to Ponder:

Where do you feel God present right now?

Pray

Creator God, you light my path.

You inspire my journey.

May I this day be a blessing.

Amen.

Go

The path is made by walking.

Antonio Machado in the poem,
“Traveler, There is No Path” (1917)
