“Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all
partake of the one bread.  Look at the
nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?” (1
Corinthians 10:17-18)

The Lord has come that all who
are in Him might be one even as the Lord is One.  There is great mystery in all the Lord is
doing, for He who is eternal has come into our temporal world that we might
follow Him into eternity.  This faith is
not to be figured out, but lived.  Grow
in wisdom and follow the Lord all the days of this life, being prepared to be
with Him forever in the world to come.

Lord, in this age of reason rather than faith I want to figure things
out.  There are some things that cannot
be figured out because of the temporal reality in which I live.  Lead me to live by faith not as one who is
blind, but as one who sees Your eternal light shining in the darkness of this
world and by it sees all else.  Guide me,
Lord, in the way of truth that I may now and always abide in the light of Your
presence.

Lord Jesus, You have come to lead
the way for as many as would follow You out of the darkness of this age and into
the light of the glory of the Father which You have revealed.  Lead me, O Lord, in the way of truth that I may
learn to humbly abide in the grace You have given knowing that in You alone is
the hope for all people.  Lead me in the
way of salvation that I would walk with You now and always.  Amen.
