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
