HE WILL CARRY OUT MY WHOLE PURPOSE

PRAYER PAUSE


Friday 24 June 2016, John the Baptist  


HE WILL CARRY OUT MY WHOLE PURPOSE


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “I have selected David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will carry out my whole purpose.” (Acts 13:22-26)


Reflection. God was at work in David, Elijah, John the Baptist and is at work today in countless individuals, including you and me. This day, six months before Christmas, echoes powerfully the events of the birth of Jesus. There is an unusual birth, the giving of a name and the astonishment of the people. These dramatic events show us that God works through people with names. He gives them immense responsibility. I write as the results of the UK referendum are coming in and peace is finally achieved in Colombia after 50 years of fighting. These are decisions made by people – not by God.   


Prayer. Lord, as we rejoice in the life and mission of John, help us too to “carry out your whole purpose” today. Amen
