Numbers 11:25-29; Psalm 19:8-10;, 12-14; James 5:1-6; Mark 9: 38-43, 45, 47-48

the Spirit
came to rest on them
bringing God’s word
of wisdom
and life
to share
with one another
a perfect Law

and love
that brings joy to the hearts

of those who can hear
turning us
from the riches that spoil
devour and fade
to the gifts
that heal
and nurture
and grow
into God’s love

Do we separate from all that would keep us from God?
Do the precepts of the Lord give joy to our heart?
