Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“The man said to me, ‘Mortal, look closely and listen attentively, and set your mind upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you; declare all that you see to the house of Israel.’”

Look and listen, God says. Pay attention to what I am showing you. Not just dramatic visions of heavenly creatures and chariots and now the temple, but to the simple and mundane. Because God is not just in the extraordinary, but in the ordinary stuff of life. And there is much to learn from paying attention to the little things. In my experience, that’s where God shows up more often than not. God brought us here—into this life at this time in this place—in order that God might show us the beauty and wonder of all God is and does, and so that we can, in turn, declare it to others. Such is the most basic and beautiful kind of faith.
What Godly things so I notice that I can share with others?
