VERSE AND VOICE FROM SOJOURNERS 16JAN26

Editor’s note: Sojourners’ new book, Light for the Way: Seeking Simplicity, Connection, and Repair in a Broken World, is now widely available. Order it here.

Verse of the day

Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.
- Hosea 10:12

Voice of the day

True abundance is never realized by the competition of insatiable desires for scarce goods. It is realized by emptying the small self into the larger reality of God’s superabundant life.
- William T. Cavanaugh, reprinted in Light for the Way, a new anthology from Sojourners.

Prayer of the day

Providing God, show us how to be mindful stewards by limiting our consumption and leaning into your abundance instead.
