today's other readings are Psalm 105 and John 8: 51-59
In our 1st reading, God establishes a covenant with the newly named Abraham, and God makes a number of glorious promises to him.
As believers, we place our hope in the countless promises God made to us in our baptism. Each moment, each breath reminds us that our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, lives, and that we have hope and trust in the guidance of our God in our lives.
But consider the promises that the Father and His Son make to all those, including you, who believe in Him. Which promises do you cling to today? And how do you witness those promises into a world that yearns for hope and meaning?
