4th April 25

Good morning everyone,

Sunday service at 10.30 is the family service, talking about adoring.

Why not come along and see what it's all about?

Noticing in the present (part 2)

Week 4: Friday 

Reading

Psalm 19.1-6

The heavens are telling the glory of God 

 and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

One day pours out its song to another 

 and one night unfolds knowledge to another.

They have neither speech nor language 

 and their voices are not heard,

Yet their sound has gone out into all lands 

 and their words to the ends of the world.

In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun, 

 that comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber

    and rejoices as a champion to run his course.

It goes forth from the end of the heavens

    and runs to the very end again, 

 and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Reflection 

There’s a quote by the poet, Ingrid Goff-Maidoff, that simply says ‘God spoke today in flowers, and I, who was waiting on words, almost missed the conversation’. 

Creation, the natural world, even the tiniest little pockets of it – that’s one of our best resources for remembering the hugeness, the joy, the creativity and the beauty of the One who made it all. 

If you want to be reminded of the sovereignty of God, look to the skies and remind yourself that every star is there by his command. If you need reminding of his creativity, take a walk and spend five minutes studying the first flower you come across. If you need to trust his ability to provide, go in search of some sparrows.

It’s all there, telling the glory of God. Let’s not overlook it, let’s allow it to fill us with hope. 

Challenge

Why not go outside, or look out of a window, and simply notice? All that you see is telling you something about the God that made it, and about you.  

Have a great weekend, weather is supposed to be good......see you Sunday.
