Scripture Readings:  Psalm 86, Judges 19-20:18, Mark 8:27-9:13

Reflection Verses:  Judges 19:3-4

Reflection:  The Levite in the text went after his wife after she left him to return to her father. Once there, the Levite and her father enjoyed each other’s company for 3 days. The Levite and his wife were reconciled back together with her father’s blessings. Reconciliation between people and then enjoying their company is important. Having a mediator present, to help with difficult/sinful situations is also important. Think about that.

Prayer:  Holy Father, Thank You, for Your Son Jesus. Please forgive me for the sins I commit that harm my relationships. Help me to be humble enough to seek out those who I have wronged or those who have wronged me to reconcile with them and renew fellowship and unity with them. Thank You, Lord, for Jesus who died that I might be reconciled with You and live eternally with You in the afterlife… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
