This morning I was reading from Acts 2. The chapter tells the story of the Spirit of God entering the community of faith. The result was empowered witnessing by word and deed of the community of faith about Jesus Christ ... his death and resurrection.
In Acts 2 a phrase pops up a couple of times ... day by day.
"Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the good will of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved" (Acts 2:46-47)
Day by day ... day by day ... day by day ...
That phrase reminds me of a song that comes from Godspell. The words are: "Day by day ... Day by day, Oh Dear Lord, Three things I pray: To see thee more clearly; Love thee more dearly; Follow thee more nearly; Day by day".
That's my prayer for this morning. May it be yours as well.
