In today’s podcast, Charlie West shares his thoughts on this Sunday’s readings and gives us a prayer. You can read along in Charlie’s blog “Words Twice a Week” at https://wordstwiceaweek.blogspot.com
Sunday’s readings are: Psalm 123, Judges 4.1-7, 1 Thessalonians 5.1-11 and Matthew 25.14-30.
God over all -
you are almighty in ruling not by force or violence but by love.
We lift our eyes to you, to our fellow travelers and pilgrims, and to the hills.
Our help comes from you;
our gifts and skills are at your command;
our lives are laid before you.
At least this is what we say with our heart.
As we stop to consider and calculate, we sometimes hold back.
Today we lift our heads and hearts to you
for guidance, for encouragement, for strength,
and we take these few more steps forward
following Jesus, Lord of Life and Prince of Peace.
