Today is the commemoration of David, King of Israel.
Today's readings are Psalm 78:1-7, Isaiah 55:1-13, and Luke 1:1-25.
We read today of God calling all nations to himself, by his Word, that they may receive forgiveness, salvation, and the joy of the Lord. This salvation comes through the person of Jesus, born for us. He has come into the world through miraculous means. He has pointed all people to himself, and he calls them to himself, the living Word of God.
Do we look for our Savior in the Scripture? Do we look for him as we receive him present in and through his promises in the enacted Scripture in baptism and communion? This is the mighty Lord of all heaven and earth. Jesus is the savior who has been promised. Let us seek him, delighting in his ways and his thoughts, trusting that his Word will accomplish his purposes.
