Voice of the day

To the uninitiated, the Judean wilderness can look lifeless, dead at certain times of year but then, when the rains fall and the waters rise and the flowers bloom it becomes a garden oasis of life. A masterwork lovingly painted by a divine hand.
– Wil Gafney

Creator God, you breathe life into all places, even in apparent wilderness. Whenever we wander through it, help us perceive your ways.
