Hebrews 5:5-6
5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him,
‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you’;
6as he says also in another place,
‘You are a priest for ever,
according to the order of Melchizedek.’
We talk about appointments as something that fills our calendars and keeps us busy throughout the day, but scripture and our Christian lives also talk about being appointed, or an appointment to an office or a calling.
On a particularly busy day, I'm not sure that thinking about my calendar as a gift from God will be all that helpful, but I'm willing to give it a try! How does our outlook for the day change when we think about how we have been appointed by God (through our baptism) to be God's people in the world? Are your appointments for the day ways that you can live out that calling? Hold the people and things on your calendar in prayer today.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
