Even as the tide comes in and goes out again, so we are drawn to retreat into silence and aloneness with God, then released to be involved in the going and activity again.
Most of the world would like to see something of Jesus, but how we fail to show Him through our life! How seldom when we speak is it what He has given us to be said!”
From Celtic Daily Prayer’s commentary for today.
Lord, help me to show you through our life, by my actions, and by every word that comes out of my head. Help me to see your kingdom at work in my family, my friends, my neighbors, the “strangers” that I will cross paths with today. Lord, undo me, so that you can rebuild me as your own.
I liked the image of our lives and activities as like the tides – regularly and gently, sometimes more fiercely than other times, sometimes resulting in storms and changing of landscapes, we are drawn into retreat and then pushed forth into activity. Rhythmic, balanced-but-not-equal times. Natural, biotic. Responding to the pull of a heavenly body on our internal systems. A natural dance.
Lord help me to dance, following your leading, not my own. remind me that I am your partner.
