Acts 2: Dialog with God
Monday, May 2, 2022
In the turmoil of the world, it may be difficult to feel God’s presence; yet surely God is near.
To my words give ear, O Lord, give heed to my groaning, attend to the sound of my cries. (Psalm 5)
In the cacophony of the world, it may be difficult to hear God’s voice; yet surely God speaks.
A voice I did not know said to me: “I freed your shoulder from the burden; your hands are freed from the load. You call in distress and I saved you. (Psalm 81)
In the strife of the world, it may be difficult to believe in God’s peace; yet surely God offers us this gift.
I will hear what the Lord God had to say, a voice that speaks of peace, peace for his people and his friends and those who turn to them in their hearts. (Psalm 85)
In this time and place of the Easter miracle, it may be difficult to witness to our defender God, our redeemer Christ and our healer Spirit, and yet we must. On this fourth Sunday of Easter, let us spend time with God’s word and listen for the word of God that calls us to witness to the enormity of the Easter gift of beatitude.
Spend time today with these verses, use the scripture links to reflect with varying versions, and enter into dialog with God.
Tomorrow, Jesus’ teaching on prayer.
