True peace
Our world offers false refuge and true peace. We pray Lord for the wisdom to know the difference and to rediscover the beauty of creation.
SEEDS TO SOW: Whats acts of hope could we take this week?
Read Jeremiah 32: 1-15
A prayer of hope.
Jeremiah buys a field. A prophetic, symbolic act to invest in a future he believes in despite the present turmoil. He is putting his money where his mouth is.
Q: What’s the difference between a symbolic gesture and an empty one?
Read Psalm 146
A prayer of trust.
Q: What do you think it means when it says in verse 9 that the Lord frustrates the ways of the wicked? That’s how the NIV translates it, how does your Bible translate that verse?
Q: Who are the ‘princes’ in modern society who people put their trust in? It could be individuals but also technologies and systems.
Read 1 Timothy 6: 6-19
A prayer of expectation.
“Building up treasure on earth does not ensure peace but building up treasure in heaven (through generosity and compassion, see verses 18-19) does far more to ensure peace.” —
Q: Discuss the above statement! And if you agree — why do we often seem to spend more time focusing on earthly treasure than heavenly treasure?
