Monday’s Musings: Under Wraps

Modified and used 5-12-20
2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

Joe and I and a number of folk from church went to McDonough yesterday to visitation after the death of another church member’s sister. On the way back to Hapeville I noticed two flatbed trucks carrying large loads that were wrapped in heavy black plastic.  I wonder what they were transporting under wraps.  Then I thought about how we describe things we keep to ourselves as being “under wraps.”  Are you tired and troubled?  God will bring you among people who care. Are you happy in your faith? God wants you to share that with others.  I’ve never noticed this morning’s beautiful verse until today when I searched the scriptures for sharing.  I’m imagining groups of Christians coming together in faith and friendship, caring for and supporting one another and then going out to share Christ with the world.  To me that is the Kingdom of God on the earth.

Loving God, thank you for Jesus who taught us about the Kingdom.  May our lives this week reflect your love for us.  In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Blessings,
Paige
