Beloved, in these chaotic days, I commend to you the reading of the Book of Ezekiel, small portions we shall ponder this week. Today, Chapter 1 (v.1) NRSV: (B.C. 592-570)

"In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month,

on the fifth day of the month, as I was

among the exiles by the river Chebar, the

heavens were opened, and I saw visions of

God."
Let us pray.

Our Father, as our leaders here and in our Nation's Capital, wrestle with the monumental problems thrust upon us, we say our morning prayers!

We pray also for our President and our leaders as they criss-cross our planet trying to put out fires and support the weak. We thank you for the perspective of Ezekiel who also lived in chaotic times.

We thank You that though You exist beyond the rim of our universe, Creator of it all, You yearn for Your children, human-kind, to hear and obey Your Word in their misery.

We pray for an understanding of Ezekiel's experience "among the exiles by the river" when he said,

"The heavens were opened, and

I saw visions of God..."

Amen!
