Today's Reading
Genesis. Deception, conniving and selfishness are all present in today's account. What do you think? What do you question?
Matthew today contains Jesus' commission to his closest followers. How do you think it relates to us today? Also, what are your thoughts about his comparison of judgment for those who refuse His message to the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah?
As you pray today's Psalm from your own heart, what is your attitude about the poor? I confess that I have often been critical of the poor, thinking it's just their own fault. Do you think that reflects the way God sees them?
Today, Proverbs takes us back to the overall value of wisdom. What does it say to you?
I am touched and often challenged by your daily comments and questions. Please keep it up!

In Matt this scripture is presented: 16 “Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves." There is much wisdom in this for Christians. With a quick look at today's readings in Genesis we see Jacob being wise with his resource management as well as relationship/politics, all the while with a goal to serve God. For Christians today it is our guidance to serve God in our daily life and a recipe is given on how to navigate everyday dealings and relationships - be wise with them, have integrity, understand the deception and don't fall to it; this will provide opportunities to be a light for Christ while also providing for one's family. I like having a guide book!
