BUT
THE LORD IS AT MY SIDE
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading: “But the Lord is at my side
a mighty hero; my opponents will stumble, mastered, confounded by their failure.”
(Jeremiah 20:10-13)
Reflection. Jeremiah describes his
enemies circling around him, determined on his destruction. But his heart reaches out to the Lord in
unshakeable trust. In the end their schemes will not succeeed. It is a prophecy of Good Friday – now just a
week away. And it is a prophecy of the struggle we are in, where we do not yet
see the outcome. But the “Lord is at our side” and the passage ends, “Sing to the
Lord,.praise his name for he has delivered the soul of the needy.”
Prayer. Lord, may our lives
proclaim our trust in you that you are at our side. Amen
