Daily Office Readings for Tuesday of the Week After Christmas: Year 1
Morning, Psalm 138, 139:1-17(18-23); Evening, Psalm 147:
Isaiah 65:1-9; Revelation 3:1-6; John 6:1-14:
“Philip answered him, ‘Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.’ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, ‘There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?’ (John 6; 7 to 9)
Some of us, like Philip, look at what we think cannot be done. And some of us like Andrew, are open to the hope of possibilities. When God is involved, nothing is impossible.
I have a personal saying: “I can never see where God is presently in my life, but as I look back I can see where God was in my life getting me through many “impossible” situations. Perhaps one day I will be on the same frequency as God and see God as God is actively taking my little and making it enough while it is actually happening.
Today we remember William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury (January 10, 1645) and his information may be found at: William Laud.
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done” (Genesis 2:1 and 2). So, for this evening and tomorrow day my friends, Shabbat Shalom.

As we listen to what the Spirit of God is saying to us, let us live to love and serve, and to teach others to love and serve, while pondering anew what the Almighty can do. John
Let us pray:
O God, as we believe and hope in You, keep us ever-mindful that what we have is enough for You to use for the benefit of ourselves and those around us. Let our hope and trust be never failing in Your divine intervention in human life as we put our whole trust in You. Amen.
