This is a week to contemplate the mysteries of God’s work, how, as Isaiah reminds us, “God’s ways are not our ways.” In Samuel, King Saul falls apart, but God raises up David, who will also have his flaws, to be the next king. In Corinthians, Paul considers the freedom of serving Christ in all things – freedom from worry about death, freedom to be made new by God. And Jesus tells parables about the mysterious work of God, bringing growth under our own eyes. How do you see God quietly working in your life?
