Scripture: Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Thought for the Day: I have been rereading a book about Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Her brother, Henry Ward Beecher, was an amazing pastor in the Congregationalist tradition (today, that would be the United Church of Christ, our sister denomination) during the middle part of the 19th century. He wrote “Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.” The Beecher family knew how to take hold of the future using the handle of faith. In doing so, they not only moved into a more faithful future, but they also brought many other people with them.
Prayer: O Lord of Light, may I grow in faith so when choices are made today that will dramatically impact my tomorrow, I am better able to discern the options that will help create the future you desire. Amen.
