PRAYER PAUSE
Thursday 27 October 2016
TELL THAT
FOX
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Tell that fox … that I must go on,
for it would not be right for a prophet to die outside Jerusalem.” (Luke 13:31-35)
Reflection. Good meaning people tell Jesus to go
away and hide somewhere because Herod wants to kill him. And he replies he must
go to Jerusalem to fulfil his work. There was a DC in Zambia at the time of the
Alice Lenshina “disturbance” who had the task of dismantling an armed stockade of
her Lumpa church. It would have been “safer” to use overwhelming force and many
would die but he chose to negotiate for hours in the open risking a sudden
attack. Destiny comes in many forms but facing our task with courage and a
generous heart has to be the foundation.
Prayer. Lord, give
us the courage to do what we are really called to do. Amen
