THE DAYS ARE COMING
Pause. Be still
in the presence of God..
Reading. “See,
the days are coming – it is the Lord who speaks – when I will raise a virtuous Branch
for David.” (Jer. 23:5-8)
Reflection. Jeremiah wrote when Jerusalem was under threat
from invasion and destruction and yet he gives this message of hope. In the
gospel for today (Matt1:18-24) Joseph is filled with anxiety as he sees Mary is
pregnant. He too receives a message of assurance and hope. And this is our
inheritance too. We are surrounded by anxieties on a personal and a global level.
Yet our life is laced through with an underlying hope in our God who works
together with us to bring about his reign, the fulfilment of all. This may sound
rather up in the air but each of us is assured of a breakthrough in our own
lives and all of us as God’s people will
see this too on a global scale.
Prayer. Lord, in
this week we receive messages of hope and assurance. Help us to translate them
into our own situation that we may live each day with solid trust in you. Amen.
