Weekly Scriptural Reflection for 24 September 2014

For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed,

but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,

and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,

says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Isaiah 54, Verse 10

 
Here the prophet Isaiah is reaffirming just how steadfast the love of the Lord is for his people, for us. He uses the image of mountains disappearing and hills being taken away, in other words chaotic and seemingly impossible events, to show just how strong God’s love for us is. No matter what disasters may befall us, no matter what tragedies may surround us, God’s love is always present, an ever-present source of strength and support in difficult times.

And right alongside God’s love is his peace which he has promised through covenant to us, his children. He has such compassion for and mercy on us that his love and peace will never be removed, no matter what. What an awesome God!

Weekly Scriptural Reflection for 31 July 2014

He has rescued us from the power of darkness

and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1, Verse 13-14

 
The power of evil and darkness has been present since before the creation of this world. But our loving Father had a plan all along for our rescue and our salvation. He willingly sent His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Savior. In the sacrifice that Christ made we were “transferred into the kingdom of His Beloved Son”. Through that sacrifice we have been redeemed and our sins have been forgiven.

But the evil power has not let up in his relentless pursuit of our souls. We need to be constantly vigilant. We need to be ever ready to turn the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to ask for their Divine intervention that we always remain “transferred into the kingdom”.

Blessings,

Margo
