Today’s Reflection
When God puts a “finger” on those things in our lives that are inconsistent with God’s will for our wholeness, it is not simply to point them out. . . .That finger has a hand attached that offers us the nurture into wholeness.

Today’s Scripture
He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NRSVUE)
Prayer for the Week
God, I rest in your word. I chew on it slowly. Thoughtfully. Contemplatively. So I can plumb the depths of all that you have to say. I trust that as I digest your word you are at work. Amen.
Submit your prayer to The Upper Room.
