Psalm 75, Deuteronomy 17:1-20, Matthew 14:1-21 - Lectionary for 10/18/11 - Feast of St. Luke, Evangelist

Today is the Feast of St. Luke, Evangelist.

Today's readings are Psalm 75, Deuteronomy 17:1-20, and Matthew 14:1-21.

Today as we remember Luke the Evangelist we also see in our readings the role of an evangelist. In all our readings today we see that God's people can approach him according to his desire. We look to God where he has revealed himself. We trust in God's grace rather than in the horses, chariots, lawsuits, and political strategems which we may devise. This is the call of the evangelist. Look to God as he has revealed himself in the person and work of Jesus on your behalf. Know that you are safe in his presence, no matter what else you may face in your life. Fear not. God is right there, where he has revealed himself, providing you with all you may need.
