Faith is not always simple or easy

Morning: Psalm 89:1-18; Isaiah 63:1-6; I Timothy 1:1-17
Evening: Psalms 89:19-52; Mark 11:1-11
Mr. Trudeau goes to Washington.  Sounds like a movie!  What’s a PM to say?  The US administration is causing some chaos and suffering.  In Isaiah, what sounds like God’s revenge for suffering is really God’s natural order reasserting itself in the face of injustice.  People of faith do not support acts of vengeance. In Jesus, God is seen to be merciful. He treats us with utmost patience and calls us to patience too.  Jesus humbly and firmly confronts unjust power in Jerusalem.  Pray that wisdom and courage may prevail today in Washington.
