Teach us to live in the now and to
rejoice
in what you have provided us.
King Agrippa and his wife were treated
with royal pomp but did not know
the peace and contentment of the
shackled prisoner led in before them.
David
longed for a drink of water from
his past glory and put his soldiers at
risk.
The disciples wanted a forecast of future
perils.
This is the day that you have made, O God;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
