Scripture & Reflection: Sunday 14th July and for the week ahead:

Scripture:

11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. (1 Chronicles 29:11)

Reflection

Last week, as I looked at some pylons, marching across the landscape, transmitting energy, I got thinking about: where do we get our energy from?

What in your life gives you energy? What powers you? Is it joy? Is it anger? A sense of injustice? A feeling that time is short and you want to make the most of it? Other people? Your own company? We can get our energy from many different sources, some of them more healthy and life giving than others.

Spend a bit of time this week thinking about what fuels you, and is it helping you make the most of every day, or is it draining you, or wearing you down? If you are not tapping into the best power source often enough, how could you “switch supplier”? What activities or friendships give you life and energy, and how could you get more of those in every day, or week?

Do you connect directly to God, the ultimate power and the source of all life?
