Adventure

Deuteronomy 31: 6

6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.’

God calls us into an adventure which will stretch us well beyond what we thought we could manage, yet he promises to be with us every step of the way. Shall we take him at his word? God is nearer than we think and he has revealed himself in the person of Jesus.

 

The spirit of our age is jaundiced,

paralysed by a mixture

of boredom and compulsiveness.

 

But just around the corner there lurks

the opportunity of a lifetime

and under every stone

a crying need.

 

Spirit of grace and truth,

open our ears to the cries of the needy,

raise our eyes to the fearsome glories of your coming Kingdom,

show us the gifts with which we are equipped

to live faithfully in this moment

and to be ready for that which beckons.
