Who or what do you seek?
David Jacobs 

My grandfather led a life straight out of a Hollywood movie. He was from a very poor village, worked in a coalmine when he was twelve years old, had 14 brothers and sisters, joined the marines, fought in two wars, and was married and divorced three times. His stories were incredible, and his gregarious personality and sharp wit made him a pleasure to talk to. As he grew older, he explained to me that through all his adventures, one question plagued him: why was he here? When he met my grandmother, his priorities changed. Things that he previously looked to in search of meaning, were no longer of importance: sex, excitement, and drama. He knew what he was looking for when he met her, in large part because she knew what she was seeking: a strong relationship with God.
These sad verses are easy to illustrate in your mind. Judas has come to betray Jesus, and when they come to the garden, Jesus asks who they are looking for. Perhaps ironically because they do not fully understand what they are saying, they say they are looking for Jesus of Nazareth. They were looking for Jesus, to betray and kill him, but in doing so allowed all of us to also seek him. His captors are flung to the ground when he answers them, overwhelmed by the power of the answer to the question, "Whom seek ye?" We should all ask ourselves the same question. Like my grandparents, once we realize the answer, nothing else will matter.

Prayer 

Merciful God, loving Lord, I seek ye and only ye. I know that I have wandered, strayed from your righteous path more often than naught, but I pray that you strengthen me to seek ye with all of my being. Forgive me, O Lord, when I commit to any action for other reasons than to search for ye. I am weak, but with you, strong. I pray this in your name, Amen.

Let us Bless The Lord

Frances Taylor 

This is one of the psalms attributed to David. He is thanking God for rescuing him and promising to bless God at all times. He asks us to join him in his praises. He says his soul shall boast in the Lord. St. Paul tells us that we, too, should only boast in the Lord because it is he who always saves us. So, today, make a list. Make a list of everything that you are thankful for. Make a list of every success you have had and every failure you have survived. Make a list of every person who has helped you grow as a person and as a Christian. Now, look at it. Each of the items, events or persons on these lists are blessings from God. Either now, or before the day is over, bless and thank God for each of them. Ask God, also, to bless each of the people you have listed that you might be a blessing for them. If some of them are now with God, they would still like to hear you say thank you. God is so good to us all the time, and as one of my favorite ...

Morning Prayer 

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Inspiration 

Jesus tried to minister to the people in his town, but they rejected that he was the son of God. They only saw him as the son of a carpenter. There are many other Jews, who were referred to as God's own, who rejected Jesus Christ as the son of God, too. This is how Jesus ended up being crucified. But this did not deter Christ from His mission. He held nothing against anyone who rejected them. He forgave them and prayed that they would be saved.

Prayer 

Dear God, I thank you for your son, Jesus Christ, who loved us so much, he did not hold it against any man when they wronged Him. Lord, I pray that I can exemplify this kind of love in my life too. I cannot do that without your help, Lord. May you help me to follow the example your son set for me, Lord. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
