Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up.”
NL Daily Devotion for Monday, September 5, 2022
by Daniel D. Maurer, Clergy Stuff
Think back to a time when God stirred your heart. Maybe it’s when you gave birth to your child or the day your parents died. Some even experience God’s stirring presence in nature or while reading poetry. Spiritual high points come in a diverse multitude of types and flavors. Often, they are highly individualized. They help define—nearly without exception—who you are as a person and what stirs inside you.
Although we may not encounter burning-bush experiences like Moses, God continues to influence and mold the world through each of us. Today, ask yourself how you might point to God’s miraculous presence by sharing your spiritual high points with others. What’s more, how might you understand your neighbor better in hearing of their own experiences?
Revealing One, open my eyes to feel your presence and to point to your work in my life. Amen.
Prayer concern: For spiritual retreat centers.
