Scripture Reading
1 Corinthians 1:23-24
...but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Reflection
On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we lift high the instrument of execution and call it glory. The cross offended every expectation of power and wisdom in its day — and still does. But to those who have experienced its power, what looked like defeat is the greatest victory ever won. The cross is not a tragedy with a happy ending; it is the moment where God redefines what victory looks like.
Prayer for Today
Great Father in heaven, today I come to You and ask for Your godly wisdom to be imparted to the doctor(s) involved and that You grant them the wisdom to make good, sound decisions and to use their experience and education to bring about the best possible
outcome and quickest possible recovery so that they can return home again to their loved ones. Sometimes doctors face difficult decisions and have to determine the best avenue in fighting an illness or disease and so please
help them in that decision making process and grant them the wisdom that is from above and that is Your wisdom and so in the precious name of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ I pray, amen.
