The. Music from The Messiah has been going round in my head “He was despised and rejected+–” Now “All we like sheep have gone astray –“e

In the evening prayer i had a sort of picture in my mind’s eye – a sense of moving forwards, hovering forwards over something like a drone would or like zooming into an abstract, gentle picture slowly. Really not sure whether that was something from God or me being tired after a long day.

Keeva, your very helpful reflection brought to mind the chorus…..
‘The wise man built his house upon the rock…’. solid ground that is Jesus…on whom we CAN depend.

Fix your thoughts on Jesus
that’s how it begins
not on the headlines
not on the what ifs
not on the voices that tell us everything is shaking
fix your thoughts
we are good at fixing them elsewhere
on comparison
on disappointment
on the ways things didn’t turn out as planned
but the God who is faithful
has given us Christ
not as a passing encouragement
not as a temporary leader
but as Son over the house
Moses was faithful
steady
obedient
and that mattered
but Christ
is not just part of the story
he is the foundation
and we
we are that house
not bricks and timber
but breathing lives
held together by trust
if we hold fast
not in panic
not with clenched fists
but with quiet confidence
the God who is builder
has not abandoned the work
even when cracks appear
even when faith feels fragile
even when the walls seem thin
fix your thoughts
on the One who does not shift
on the One whose faithfulness does not flicker
Lent pulls us back
from distraction
from drift
to centre
to Christ
and the God who is steadfast
keeps holding the house together
including us

Thank you Keeva for these words

We’re all familiar with Ask, Seek, Knock regarding prayer.
But the New Living Translation says:
Keep on asking, keep on seeking , keep on knocking, which suggests investing in our prayers. Not just mentioning things to God but pleading with him and not letting go.
