Weekly Scriptural Reflection for 18 November 2014

And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left,

your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,

“This is the way; walk in it.”

Isaiah 30, Verse 21

What peace this verse brings to my heart. It reminds me that no matter where I go, what direction I go in, God is always with me. If I choose to listen to him, he will always direct me on the path that I need to travel.

He always has my best interests at heart and, even though sometimes things may not unfold the way that I think they should, I can fully trust in God to be leading me where I need to go. He is my loving Father, my Counsellor, my Guide.

Amen!

Blessings,

Weekly Scriptural Reflection for 06 October 2014

You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

it is so high that I cannot attain it.

Psalms 139, Verses 5-6

 
The imagery in these two verses is very clear and quite amazing. As I read the first verse I pictured God carefully yet relentlessly herding me along as a cowboy would do with a wild horse. Then as God corrals me, blocking my escape in the front and from behind, he gently lays his hand on me and I am tamed in his love.

The second verse expresses how I can hardly believe that God would do this for me. It is beyond my wildest dreams, beyond my human comprehension, that he would care enough about me to seek me and save me, to bring me into his arms. Alleluia!

Blessings,
