| First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: | Hebrews 8:6-13 Psalm 85:8,10-14 Mark 3:13-19 |
Psalms 85:11 Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
God said he will make a new covenant with his people, that he will write his law on their hearts and they will not need to be led by force or coercion.
This is where we are today. It isn't a matter of the law conforming us to the will of God but desiring it. True faith springs up from the earth. It comes from our hearts and minds.
God's righteousness is what we depend on and is our only hope, but faith can't be forced.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to learn to be faithful through my heart and not depend on rulers and law to be a crutch for me.
Amen
