In flight

The young man apologizes as we get up to let him through to his window seat. We have a long flight ahead. Fourteen hours or so. 

Beforehand, I’ve asked for a heart attentive to His prompting. And for willing availability, boldness to share the gospel.

It’s not my first thought on airplanes lately, to be honest. I’d rather chill in my own little world. Enjoy the extended “pause” from daily tasks.

But as he’s seated, I pray for wisdom. To listen and obey.

Public square

The words of Isaiah resonate. 

“Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far off.
For truth has stumbled in the public square, 
and honesty cannot enter.
Truth is missing,
and whoever turns from evil is plundered.”
Isaiah 59:14f

It sounds like a reading of our day.

Lamp shining

Lamp shining in a dark place. That’s what Peter calls it. 

Truth speaking. Holding us steady while it is night.

So, pay attention. Watch and learn. 

Until the Day dawns.
