Daily Lectionary Reading: Psalm 80 (NRSV, The Message); Isaiah 65:17-25 (NRSV, The Message); John 14:18-31 (NRSV, The Message)

Before they call I will answer,
while they are yet speaking I will hear
. 
Isaiah 65:24
It's hard to pick out one verse in this beautiful passage. This morning, this one speaks the most to me. So many of the other images and ideas are circumstantial. They are ideals to work toward: having homes, planting vineyards, enjoying work, but at our best as individuals and a society we will never fully realize such.

But a God that hears? That is always available to us no matter what the circumstances we are experiencing.
