Be Encouraged by God’s Word
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.
— Isaiah 55:2-3, NIV
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.

O God, my eternal Teacher, help me to be taught by everything that happens and by every person I meet. May I be receptive from everything and everybody, so that life becomes my schoolroom.
