Thursday 5 August

Numbers 20:1-13; Psalm 95;
Matthew 16:13-23

Who do you say I am?

Our lives move along -- already we are in August! We share a life of faith and even this personal area of our living moves along. The disciples with Jesus were moving along as well, arriving in the scenic area of Caesarea Philippi. His question then remains with us now. In our journey of faith, it is good to allow ourselves, from time to time, to be asked by Jesus, who do we say he is. What are the words or images I have for Jesus this day in August? Our personal response matters to him and to ourselves. It actually shapes our lives.
