SCRIPTURE READINGS
Jonah 3:1-5, 10; Psalm 62:5-12; 1 Corinthians 7:29-31; Mark 1:14-20
Friends;
The season of Epiphany slowly moves from the darkness of waiting to the expansive light of awareness. These scriptures tell the story of our call from God and our discipleship journey. God’s call informs the readings from both Jonah and Mark. All the scriptures taken together reflect human distraction and willfulness and the need to be grounded in God. The psalmist yokes our divided, distracted hearts and spirits with the balm of silence and the blessing of assurance.
