Scripture: Psalm 77:10
And I say, “It is my grief that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
Thought for the Day: God is always working to change our grief. I’ve watched this change occur in so many real and tangible ways, and over the next two Sundays, you will have an opportunity to participate in God’s ongoing work of transformation. Melinda and Mike Dickey will be honoring the memory of their daughter, Kimberly, by inviting CCCC members to join them in a food drive for NAM. It’s a simple thing, but it is a visible expression of what God does – bring life out of loss, blessing out of tragedy. Nothing can make a family forget the pain, but God’s grace is able to bring light to where there was only darkness. It is just one more hint of resurrection that is all around us, a hint of what is fully known by those who now rest in the presence of the divine.
Prayer: O Gracious God, your loving hand is upon us even when we do not notice it. When grief overwhelms us, let us trust that you are there and that you are already at work to bring real and genuine change. Amen.
