DO NOT TURN BACK

PRAYER PAUSE


Friday 11 November 2016, Martin


DO NOT TURN BACK


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “When that day comes, anyone on the housetop, with his possessions in the house, must not come down to collect them, nor must anyone in the fields turn back either.” (Luke 17:26-37)



Reflection. We hear a lot about “the day” as we approach the end of the year. For months many have followed the US election and it came down to one day and one decision. Now we live with the consequences. We realise that making a decision changes everything: it either blocks off options or opens doors. We may argue back and forth but it remains “awesome” what impact our decisions have. Take the German people’s choice of Hitler in 1933. And in each of our lives we make decisions which affect everything. God shares his creativity with us.

Prayer. Lord, we pray that the decisions we make may be for the best and lead us to the day when “all manner of thing will be well.” Amen
