Verse and Voice of the Day
Verse of the Day:
Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray, who cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat,
but declare war against those
who put nothing into their mouths.
Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision,
and darkness to you, without revelation.
The sun shall go down upon the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them;
the seers shall be disgraced,
and the diviners put to shame;
they shall all cover their lips,
for there is no answer from God.
- Micah 3:5-7
Voice of the Day:
The single clenched fist
lifted and ready,
Or the open asking hand
held out and waiting.
Choose: For we meet
by one or the other.
- Carl Sandburg,
“Choose,” from Chicago Poems.
