Weekly Scriptural Reflection for 14 July 2014

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea.

Psalm 46, Verses 1-2

 
There is always comfort to be found in the word of God. No matter what trials, tribulations, or tragedies we may have to face, He is always there. His grace and His comfort surround us like loving arms.

These verses from Psalms remind us that we get our strength from God and we find our refuge in Him. This morning in my quiet time I read this prayer: “No matter what I go through, O God, you go through it with me. Where I am, you are. Amen”.

Dedicated to the extended Hay family members on the passing of Ruth Ellen Hay.

Weekly Scriptural Reflection for 26 May 2014

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly;

teach and admonish one another in all wisdom;

and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.

Colossians, 3, Verse 16

 
The word “richly” drew me instantly and deeply into this scripture verse. Whenever something is described as “rich”, for me it indicates that there is more to it than meets the eye; there is deeper meaning or quality. When a cake is “richer”, there is usually some extra special ingredient(s) involved.

And so as we heed the invitation to “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly”, perhaps we can imagine the word as that extra special ingredient that will enrich our spiritual lives. As we study scripture and share the lessons learned therein, we can support and nourish each other on our individual spiritual journeys. When we gather together to worship, reading the word and singing songs of praise, let us offer gratitude to our “richly” deserving God.

Blessings,
