WOV #706, "Eat This Bread, Drink This Cup"
Devotion
We associate miracles of feeding, such as those of Jesus and Elisha in this week’s Bible lessons, with our celebration of Holy Communion. On the one hand we know that God feeds us spiritually in this sacrament. On the other hand we know it is also just a foretaste of a fuller feeding yet to come.
As God’s called and chosen people we both give thanks for the abundance we enjoy and we go out to share it. If you join in worship at your church today let the feeding seep deep into your soul. Then rise up for a ministry of feeding and care. It is our way as Christian people.
Prayer
Saints of God, bow down and worship, bless the holy name. Rise to tell God’s greatness forever, wondrous deeds proclaim! Amen.
