Psalm: 107

Meditation Matthew: Please (re-)turn to chapter 18:1-5 to hear an echo of what we are looking at today. Apparently, a child-like attitude (by which I mean “faith”) is necessary if only to prove to ourselves actually just how dependent we are upon God, from our next breath to our next meal. God is fully aware of just how much we need such things (see Matt: 6:25-34), The Lord loves to repeat Himself if He thinks the point is worth making. The beauty of childlikeness is a marvelous sense of wonder and humility.

Gospel: Matthew 19:13-22

New Testament: Romans 3:21-31

Old Testament: Numbers 16:1-19
