Lectionary for 5/8/09

Today's readings are Leviticus 18.1-7, 20-19.8 and Luke 11.1-13.

In today's reading see how the Lord has appointed what is good for his people, not what will bring them evil.   The sexual morality which is laid out in Leviticus values appropriate relationships rather than simply forbidding relationships.  The way we are taught to pray in Luke gives us comfort that we can know what our Lord wants to do in our lives.  In fact, we are praying to the living god who loves his people and does delight in providing exactly what his people need.  He is not like the rest of us, evil fathers who would do something wrong.  Yet even we evil fathers by and large make decisions which are good for our children.  How much more does the heavenly Father care for his people?

Let us go in confidence, praying and knowing that our Lord will show us ever better how to pray.
