So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas … and Matthias.  Then they prayed, … and the lot fell to Matthias … Acts 1:23, 24, 26

Today your are invited to consider how you cope with rejection.  We do not know how Joseph coped, but how do you feel when you are the last to be picked for a team, the one who’s proposal is set aside, the customer who is ignored, or the family member who is left out?  What do you do in such circumstances?  How does it affect your relationships with others concerned, especially those who are chosen?  What do you want to say to Jesus today about these things?  What is His reply?

May God bless you with an assurance that He has chosen you to be His own son or daughter today and that He loves you no matter what is going on in your life.
