SPECKS OF DUST

PRAYER MOMENT


Tuesday 23 June 2015


SPECKS OF DUST


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “I will make your descendants like dust on the ground; when men succeed in counting the specks of dust on the ground then they will be able to count your descendasnts.” (Genesis 13: 2…18)


Reflection. There was a delightful Chinese family at our celebration last Saturday and the thought cross my mind that there are billions like them living and dead who have passed through this earth. And here are billions of others so that when you think of all the people there have ever been your mind cannot hold on to the thought. We are all chidren of God even if most of us have a fuzzy idea what that means. From the time of Abraham God has been building a people within this people who will act as leaven to transform “the whole batch.” And even this number is beyond counting. Some acknowledge Him and belong through baptism to his church but many do not. These others are also touched by light and beauty and truth and they too transform our world.   


Prayer. We give thanks, Lord, when we contemplate your creation, your sharing of life with countless people. Help us to reverence your work and respect our planet so tht it continues to be home for millions yet to be born. Amen.
