Scripture reading
But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles…
–Galatians 1:15-16a
Thought of the Day
Leonard Bernstein, the great American composer and conductor had a difficult relationship with his father growing up. It wasn’t until Bernstein had achieved great acclaim and fame that the two reconciled and grew closer together. In an interview, his father was asked why he didn’t give his son more support when he was growing up. His father replied, “How was I to know he was going to grow up to be Leonard Bernstein?”
It is the good news that God doesn’t wait to find out who we are. He sets us apart from birth and calls us by His grace. Never forget that.
Prayer
God, Reveal Your Son to me in new and glorious ways. Amen.
