Today's readings are Psalm 114, Joshua 5.1-6.5, and Acts 10.1-17.
The God of all is able to work out all things according to his purpose. We see in today's readings how supernatural our Lord really is. He sets apart his people, rolling away the reproach of Egypt in circumcision, showing that God is able to make a distinction among people even in the hidden places. He provides for his people to eat the Passover as they reach the end of the bread which God has provided from heaven. He gives his commands to Joshua and directs him in the way that God will overthrow Jericho. In our New Testament reading our Lord sends visions to Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and to Peter, just at the right time to prepare the way of the Gospel for Cornelius and his household.
What plans do we have today? As we go about our business will we be sensitive to our Lord's direction? Will we see when the Lord shows us his glory? Will we give thanks to God in Christ when we receive our daily bread, all the provision we have? Will we rejoice that our Lord uses us to work out his will and his ways in the world all around us? Our God is the supernatural God who works in and through us to care for the needs of this world. May we have grace to recognize his hand in all we do.
