PRAYER PAUSE

THE WORLD
CREATED BY A WORD
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “It is by faith that we understand
that the world was created by one word from God, so that no apparent cause can account
for the things that we see.” (Hebrews 11:1-7)
Reflection. Exploration is no longer in ships
and long treks but in telescopes and probes. And as in earlier times, we are
astonished by discoveries of the extent and complex variety of our planet and
the whole universe. We call it God’s work, his creation. Not everyone does. But
we all share in the wonder. And far from challenging belief it nourishes and
fuels it. And that vast expanse narrows down for each of us down to our own
conscious engagement in this creation. We too expand our hearts in faith to see
God’s great universal purpose and lay our shoulder to the task of fulfilling it.
Prayer. Lord, as
wonder at the “work of your hands” we ask you to help us be fully engaged in the
task of bringing it to perfection. Amen.
