YOUR HOUSE WILL ALWAYS STAND SECURE


PRAYER PAUSE  


Monday 19 March 2018, St Joseph


YOUR HOUSE WILL ALWAYS STAND SECURE


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Your house and your sovereignty will always stand before me and your throne be established for ever.” (Samuel 7:4… 16)



Reflection. Joseph stands in the line of Abraham and David as ancestors in faith who believed the promises of God that he would found a “House” that would last forever.  When Jesus came he said, “the foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” He has no “house” other than the community He is building founded on faith in the promises.  The stronger we believe in the “promise” of our life the more engaged, content and satisfied we will be.  The future is as unknown to us as it was to Abraham and Joseph. But they wee people of faith firmly rooted in the promises.   


Prayer. Lord, may we have the faith of Abraham and of Joseph, firmly rooted in your promiss as we engage in the task you set before us. Amen
