I leave you with a prayer calling in the vision of equanimity in today’s reading from the lectionary.2 Corinthians 8:13-15 Our desire is not that others might be

Psalm 126:1-2When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.+Cheer out loud when rescue becomes real. Not maybe he will save us, or maybe he’ll help us, or if we do what’s right he’ll stay. Here and now, no matter what, in this and that and in everything, life changes when the Lord arrives.Tall, heartless, brutal, kind, earnest, every color, shape, location, and time.

Malachi 3:17-18“On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”+“They” means the faithful remnant of believers. As far as we know, God hasn’t changed the stark outcomes for servants or the wicked.Free will allows us choices and forgiveness. Your

Psalm 90:1-4, 12 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.+Christmas is an offer to engage with God because giving and receiving matter.

October 2025 Flash💥Devos Thank You!

Thank you for reading and listening along to my Flash💥Devos this October. In gratitude, let me offer “Take Me to the Border with You,” my most popular article from 2024. The week I spent at the Mexico/U.S. border in 2019 radicalized me. Sharing ministry of presence and welcoming migrants humbled me. The realities of worldwide immigration, refugees, asylum, and exile scorch my heart. I pray we may all become more faithful neighbors wherever we are. Take Me to the Border with Youby Marianne
