Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Thought for the Day: One year ago today, I was kicking into high gear trying to figure out how we would do worship online after making the decision to cancel our in-person worship. I could have lived a very happy life never learning the things I’ve had to learn these past twelve months, but in light of what we have faced, I am thankful for the ways we were able to connect with one another. God remained good, though that was no surprise. And though our paths did not always feel straight or all that easy, it was quite amazing how the path always seemed passable. I know for many these past twelve months have brought extraordinary pain. Not only grief and loss, but often an inability to process the grief or find closure as one would want. Through these immense challenges, I still believe God is helping make a path forward for all of us. But let us remember how we are often part of the road crew helping God to clear the path for those who are having more difficulty moving forward.
Prayer: We trust you and your love, Lord God, though there have been times when it has become difficult to hold tight to our faith. In those moments, provide us some hint of your Good News, the news of how you will never let us go. Amen.
