Today is the commemoration of Justin, Martyr.
Today's readings are Psalm 62.5-10, Numbers 10.11-36, and Luke 16.19-31.
Our readings today are full of journeys. We walk along with the Israelites as they set out from Sinai toward the land of promise. We walk with the rich man and Lazarus through death. In both Numbers and Luke we see that God is going with his people as they leave what they know, entering into what is unknown. His hand of protection is on his chosen people and he opposes those who are not his people. Yet regardless, God is there. The Psalmist reminds us to look for God, in whom we find salvation, glory, and protection. All the situations we find so attractive and comfortable are of brief duration. It is the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who lasts forever.
