YOU WILL NOT STAND
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading: “But if you do not stand by me you will not
stand at all .” (Isaiah 2:1-9)
Reflection. In this reading, and the
accompanying one from Matthew (11:20-24), we are given a sombre reflection on Israel’s
failure to “stand by God.” Infidelkity and
failure to accept the good news led to disaster. I once had the opportunity to visit Capernaum
and it really is a ruin. Not that the permanence of buildings is any guarantee of
anything. But there is a sign
there. We are given this encouragement
to build our life on the good news and, despite the constant trials we meet, all
will be well.
Prayer. Lord, help us to found our life on
you and the good new. Amen
