Scripture: 1 Kings 19

“This is a soul-searching question, and it ought to be put to all of us. Are we, like Elijah, running from responsibility – seeking a cave of false refuge?” –Fruit of the Vine

Query: What fears or potential dangers might be keeping you from stepping into the responsibilities and opportunities God wants to open up for you?

Mary-mirror

When Mary to her cousin went

the trees in lowly laughter bent

and luster of their greenness lent

for mirroring her merriment.

When Mary came to Calvary

it was a still and lonely tree

that stood as straight and stripped as she

for mirroring her majesty.
