Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
At the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant….Then the Lord said to me, “Get up, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly….Let me alone that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation, mightier and more numerous than they.”
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
The Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, how stiff-necked they are. Now let me alone, so that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them; and of you I will make a great nation.”
But Moses implored the Lord his God, and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
He answered them, “You faithless generation, how much longer must I be among you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him to me.” And they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, immediately it threw the boy into convulsions, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
Text: Philippians 1:3-11
Synopsis: Paul writes a word of gratitude and encouragement to the church in Philippi to remind them that the good work God has begun among them will come to fruition in time. God’s growth is gradual but also inevitable. So, give yourself the grace to know we are all God’s work in progress. God’s good work takes time.
When plans change, what do you do when you don’t know what to do? Why do bad things happen to good people? These are the complex questions which every human must ask at some point if they are to live a flourishing, reflective life. God designed creation with the free will to flourish or fail, but what happens when disaster strikes outside of your control? The story of Ruth and Naomi offers us a glimpse into the life of two courageous women struggling to survive in the face of tragedy and grief.
