Reflection: Sunday 4th September and for the week ahead:

Scripture:

O Lord, you have searched me out and known me;
you know my sitting down and my rising up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
You mark out my journeys and my resting place and are acquainted with all my ways.  (Psalm 139 1-2)

Reflection:

Truly letting go and trusting in God’s will for us all is such a difficult thing to do - our ego normally has something else to say about it. We tend to believe that we have all the answers and boldly, or not so boldly, go where we think the pot of gold at the bottom of the rainbow is - and we all know where that will lead us!!

We are all too ready to rush around, attaining this, achieving that, that we rarely take time to stop and listen to what God has is store for us - which is always infinitely better than we can ever imagine.

Simply taking a little time out of our busy day and resting in God’s peace for even a short period may help us all to discern His journey for our lives.
