Eli said (to Samuel), “He is God. Let him do whatever he thinks best.”
JOHN 21:12 (MSG)
Jesus said, “Breakfast is ready.” Not one of the disciples dared ask, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Master.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When we're dealing with God responsiveness is more important than having all our questions answered.
DAILY FODDER
How has God called to you? How have you responded?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for calling ordinary people to partner with you. I confess that I sometimes let my questions get in the way of responding. Give me the wisdom to know when to ask questions and when to jump up and go. I want to embrace Eli's approach to such mysteries — to assume you know what you're doing and to make myself available for any way you want me to serve (or eat) with you. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
