Wednesday’s
Devotion: Reading Tea Leaves
Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the LORD's great love we are not
consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is
your faithfulness.
After I finished a cup of hot tea yesterday evening I
noticed some tea leaves in the bottom of my cup. I remembered when I was young hearing of
people who could read tea leaves. I hadn’t
thought about that in a long time. I looked into my cup and wondered what a
fortune teller might make of my leaves.
I don’t know if anyone can really predict the future. I know most of us
would like some degree of increased certainty about what our future might
hold. On the other hand I don’t want to
know some things like the date of my death or if something bad is going to
happen. I want to live each day without
worrying about those things. I can predict one thing: God will be with me
through all things in my future. In a
world full of uncertainty, that is a great comfort.
Thank
you Lord for you continued faithfulness; your constant care and grace in our
lives. We ask for strength for today and
each new day as they come. In Christ’s
name, Amen.
