Psalm 114, Deuteronomy 12:13-32, Matthew 12:38-50 - Lectionary for 10/14/11

Today's readings are Psalm 114, Deuteronomy 12:13-32, and Matthew 12:38-50.

Our Lord pictures us as his people, his family, in today's readings. This means that we will by nature care for one another. We rightly involve ourselves in a community - gathered in Christ we look to him as the one who meets all our needs. We also rejoice with others who have seen God's provision. As we find our brothers and sisters in need, we try to assist them. All in all we find that we get along well, being supplied by our Lord with every good thing.

How can we be God's instruments in our community? May the Lord who bears our burdens also enable us to bear our neighbors' burden.
