We are starting a new series now that our travels through Narnia are ended.
The idea is to contemplate a passage from the Bible for five minutes, and then share, note down, follow any thoughts, ideas, paths that come from this.
This is a bit close to reading random verses without any context... but we can deal with any problems as they arise.
On Thursday 13th April we considered these two verses from Isaiah;
(some context is needed; the people of Judah have asked Egypt to save them from the Assyrians, instead of trusting in God)
15 This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:
“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.
1!18 Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!
Here are the two pieces of music that came to my mind; 'I Waited for the Lord' by Mendelssohn
and, in recognition of how difficult it is to keep one's mind focused; 'Lady in Church', Joyce Grenfell
