THEY
REPENTED
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “On Judgement day the men of
Nineveh will stand up with this generation and condemn it, because when Jonah
preached they repented; and there is something greater than Jonah here.” (Luke
11:29-32)
Reflection. ‘Repent’ is a short sharp word but
its full meaning is to ‘change one’s way of thinking’ – one of the hardest
things for men and women to do, even in the face of facts to the contrary. We
might think the evidence for climate change is overwhelming but many just
refuse to change their way of thinking about it. And so it is with many issues,
global and personal. People find it so hard to change and I have to ask myself
where I am in this? Am I rooted in some opinions or am I open to change?
Prayer. Lord, help us to be open to contrary
views and listen and weigh up all we hear. Amen.
