“FEED MY SHEEP” (Jn 21:17)

“In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest mountain and raised above the hills. All nations shall stream toward it; many peoples shall come and say: ‘Come, let us climb the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may instruct us in His ways, and we may walk in His paths.’ ” —Isaiah 2:2-3

Today, many stream toward shopping malls and purchasing Websites, saying, “Come, let us finish our Christmas shopping” (cp Is 2:3). Many merchants hear this call and have answered it, setting up shop to supply the consumer demand.

Prayer: Father, You have been preparing us for years. May we be quick to lead the streaming crowds to the banquet of Your Word.
Promise: “Many will come from the east and the west and will find a place at the banquet in the kingdom of God.” —Mt 8:11
Praise: When interviewed after winning a big game, Steven was quick to give the credit to the “Author of Life” (Acts 3:15).
