Today’s Scripture Reading

What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor!

Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord.

Psalm 107:30, 43


“May the Lord bless him!” Naomi told her daughter-in-law. “He is showing his kindness to us as well as to your dead husband. That man is one of our closest relatives, one of our family redeemers.”

Ruth 2:20


but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them.

Luke 24:29


Today’s Meditation

Restoration Song

God called forth a people, and we responded to His call
‘Rebuild this ancient ruin, restore my city walls.’

He has led us day by day, as we listened to His voice
and we were fed on finest wheat, and manna from the skies.

When we started, we were strangers. We hardly knew each other’s names.
Now we are brothers and sisters, and we will never be the same.

As we built, brick by brick, we discovered the corner stone,
and as we let Him mould and fashion us, He built us up in love.

Now we have seen, and we have heard, that the Lord our God is great.
For a wilderness has been transformed, into His holy place.
