Daily Scripture Reflection & Prayer: October 27,2026

LECTIO - Read Scripture Text:   Luke 13:18-21

Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden. When it was fully grown, it became a large bush and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.”

Again, he said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch of dough was leavened.”

MEDITATIO - Meditate on text, allow the LORD to touch us with His Word:

Do I trust the quiet, hidden work of God? Am I open to the LORD’s transformative love and grace?

BREAKING OPEN THE TEXT:

Jesus’ two metaphors for the Kingdom of God reveals to us powerfully how God’s Kingdom comes quietly but with purpose.

ORATIO – Lifting our minds and hearts to the LORD in prayer:

LORD, at times I feel so small and insignificant. I wonder if I or anything I do matter. Send your Spirit to help me trust in You and your divine design and your power and presence, manifestations of your love, at work always and everywhere. I ask this in the name of Jesus.

CONTEMPLATIO – Sitting with the LORD in silence for a minute or more
