"Out there under the stars there is work waiting to be done that only you can do."
I first heard these words some thirty years ago in a sermon delivered by our former pastor, Morgan Roberts. And his words continue to challenge me.
How do we hear what God is calling us to do? Why does it seem that God speaks to each of us in ways that seem so different? To do justice and show mercy take on diverse meanings in the hearts and minds of diverse people, and there-in lies the challenge for us as individuals and for the church.
The ebb and flow of life move us in amazing and unexpected ways and these forty days of Lent provide time for reflection and hope. A time to be still and listen to what God is calling us to do in today's world time to ask, to search, and to knock.
Loving and gracious God, may your word always be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path as we walk humbly with you through all our days. Amen.
