Wonder …
Have you ever had your faith challenged?
How? What were the circumstances?
Now, consider this story …
Acts 11:1-11
Peter’s vision on the roof challenged his faith to the core. He thought he had been doing the right thing, keeping kosher food laws and not eating what he believed to be ritually unclean, but God told him differently. This continued to be a struggle for Peter. He knew that God called all people and offered them new life, and yet it was difficult for him to let go of what he had been taught.
Ponder this … How easily can you give up things you have believed since childhood because your faith experience tells you otherwise?
Pray
We praise you, O God,
for the gift of creation
and the surprise of re-creation.
Open our eyes to see new things.
Open our minds to think fresh thoughts.
Open our communities to welcome new partners.
Open our spirits to follow your Spirit.
Amen. |
