Very short and to the point this week… as I try to put in
words some of my thoughts concerning the current unrest from the pandemic to
racial tensions…
I wrote one devotion and had it proofread to make sure it
came across as a spiritual challenge and not a political statement… and I failed
at it. So instead I will make a simple observation/statement and let the living
Word of God speak for itself.
One thing that literally makes me sick at my stomach is
seeing an athlete blow out a knee. Due to my 4 knee surgeries, and my son’s 3
knee surgeries, it is a very real reminder of pain (both physical and emotional)…
and a reminder of the struggles of coming back. My heart truly breaks for the
athlete when I see it happen!
People are hurting right now… and no matter where we land politically
or philosophically, as part of Team Jesus we are commended the following:
…weep with those that weep.” (Romans 12:15)
What if today we prayed for instead of complained about?
What if today we washed feet instead of watched news
feeds? (Jesus even washed the feet of His betrayer…)
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. (John 13:14-15)
