Scripture Readings:  Psalm 78:1-8, Joshua 15:13-16, Mark 1:1-20

Reflection Verses:  Joshua 15:17-19

Reflection:  Caleb gave his daughter, Achsah, a blessing upon her marriage to Othniel. He had already given her husband a dry field which needed water. So, Achsah asked Caleb for the springs that would water her fields. Caleb blessed her with springs of water. Beloved, God knows what we need before we even ask. And when we ask in faith, God blesses us.

Prayer:  Holy Father, Giver of every good and perfect gift. Thank You for the many blessings that You have given us. We are aware and thankful, that the blessings You have given us, have always been just what we needed. You take good care of us and our family. We ask for the continued, abiding blessing of Your Holy Spirit, to lead, guide, and direct us to love others as You love us… In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
