We are back into readings shared with many other churches, the Revised Common Lectionary. So, your friends from other congregations may have contemplated the same texts Sunday. The theme of most of our readings this week is wisdom – the book of Proverbs, this Psalm, and James consider what characterizes the good life – how to live well with others and before God. Jesus gains some wisdom of his own, when he is challenged by the Syrophoenician woman. Like the man whose ears he opened, we also may want to pray to hear what God is saying to us.
