Dear friends in Christ,
School is in! What the year will hold is not known. Will it be a good year? Will you like your teacher? Will you like your friends? Will you make new ones? Only the Lord knows. We'll navigate the new school year like most of the days of lives: one day at a time - by the seat of our pants. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. We walk by faith, not by sight.
In our gospel text this week, a woman holds God to his word - to his promises. Yes Lord, she says, but even the dogs eat what falls from the master's table. THAT is one heck of a faithful confession of who God is, and her desire to be in God's house, even at his feet. She knows she's got a place at the table. God LOVES to be held to his word, and promises.
As you get back into your school routine, start a new routine with new goals, or even if you just soldier on... make sure part of that is to be where God has promised to be specifically for you with his gifts. Be in the Word of God. Be in church and Bible class. Catch him, hold him to his word and promise. He loves that! Be present at God's table and receive your Lord and Savior as he comes to you in simple means of word, water, bread and wine for the forgiveness of your sins. It's God's joy to love, forgive and bless his children.
Lord, let it always be our joy to receive the gifts you freely give to us. Bless our new school year, and let all our days be numbered in Christ. Amen.
Lord's blessings on all your days!
