Lectionary for 7/3/09

Today's readings are Joshua 8.1-28 and Acts 11.1-18

Yesterday we saw the consequences of sin and disobedience, as well as the hope of the Gospel.  In today's readings we reflect upon how God enables his people to accomplish his will by the work of the Holy Spirit.  We also remember that God's will in Christ is to bring people of all nations to repentance and faith in Jesus.

How does our Lord glorify himself today through the obedience of his people?  Do we see the strength and comfort of our Lord and savior as we gather in worship, as we receive from the Word of God, as we live out our vocations in this world?  We most certainly do see our Lord's care for his people.

Acts 11.18b (ESV) "...to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life."
