The Reading:
The earth has brought forth her increase; *
may God, our own God, give us his blessing. Psalm 67:6
I've been visiting the Morton Arboretum 2-3 times a week this month. The landscapes change daily at this time of year, from the spring beauties that quietly creep into bloom and litter the forest floor with their delicate petals to the glorious abundance that explodes onto the landscape when the crabapples begin to bloom. A profusion of miracles -- every day, when we take time to notice.
This verse from the psalm reminds us to look for God's increase and to seek out God's blessings every day. For it is the spiritual side of ourselves that births transformation. Crossing items off our temporal "to-do" lists may bring temporary satisfaction, but will never transform us. Transformation occurs only when we remember that God is the author of all miracles and the provisioner of the grace which blesses us every day. .
May God, our own God, bless us this day.
