Thursday January 8, 2026Epiphany Today’s readings draw our attention to God’s provision, Christ’s supremacy, and the invitation to come and receive true life.In Exodus 17:1–7, Israel finds itself thirsty in the wilderness, grumbling and afraid. Yet God meets their testing with mercy, bringing water from the rock and proving once again that He is present even when His people doubt. The place of complaint becomes a place of provision.In Colossians 1:15–23, Paul proclaims the supremacy of Christ—the image of the invisible God, the One through whom all things were created and the One who reconciles all things through the cross. Our hope is secured not by circumstances, but by remaining grounded in Him.And in John 7:37–52, Jesus stands and cries out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” He offers living water to all who seek him.
