Tuesday of the Second Week
“Cease doing evil. Learn to do good.” If only it was that easy. Today’s readings assure us it is that simple, even if some days seem difficult. We must stop one action as we learn another way. And God is here to help.
Every day we’re faced with choices – how we show up in our classrooms or offices, how we greet our neighbors, how we respond to others, whether we offer a hand or avert our eyes, if we’re honest and courageous, or fearful and untrustworthy, if we judge or seek to understand, if we surrender to our addictions or find another way. These choices in our days – some small and others not so – are what our lives become. Will we “preach not practice,” and “love places of honor” or shall we try to “set things right” with willing, humble hearts? The choice is ours.
We are reminded today of the importance of living lives of integrity, realizing and relishing in God’s mercy. While we are not perfect, we can always continue to learn and do better. God is here to help.
Prayer
Good and gracious God, remind me of Your presence, mercy, and love as I strive to set things right. Amen.
