Jesus echoes Moses’ words that when God enters our world new vistas open before us. God shows us sacred and eternal things. God sets before us life and love of God and compassion for everyone around us. These are the things we can choose today because God has made it so. Choosing the things of God may require careful thought and even sacrifice. We ask for the Holy Spirit to lead us and teach, and inspire us. We pray that we may choose what God has set before us: the good and eternal things that are right and true.
