Asleep on the Job

Good Enough, 39-44       Luke 7:1-10

Today, do you resonate more with the centurion who trusted Jesus’ authority over life and death, even from afar? Or are you feeling more like the disciples with Him in the storm-tossed boat, asking Jesus if He has noticed that they are all about to drown?

“Jesus is the one who dies and who is resurrected. And the one whose presence remains but whose absence is always before us in this broken world” (Good Enough, 41). Near or far, in the calm or in the storm, in faith or in doubt, tell God about life as it is for you. Let it flow.

Notice in the past where love has entered into even the most difficult of days. How does love speak into your faith, and transform it?

God, I don’t have answers to the chaos or the pain. But I do know what love feels like. You invented it, and I feel its depth, urgency, pre-eminence and power, even in the midst of fear and doubt. God, help me trust that You are as close as the air. And that with You, I am truly seen, known, and loved.

Amen.

"Let it surface-that fear that is just below the surface, masquerading as frustration or irritability or tension. Let it come and then put it into a prayer" Those were helpful words today
