Clarion Call Day 242
Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it! Luke 11:28
Heavenly Father
I love it when I find
A verse of Scripture which confirms my beliefs.
I am encouraged and strengthened
More sure of my faith
More confident in my relationship with you.
Assured that your Word is the Word of Life
The Word of God
Given for everyone
Given for me.
But, when I read words which
Challenge and confront
Which don’t sit easily with my convictions
Questioning my theology
Disturbing my understanding
Asking me to think and change and grow
Even suggesting that I might have got it wrong ….
Lord, save me from a ‘rose tinted’ Bible
Where I highlight all the verses I love
And ignore those that challenge.
Save me from a childish approach to your Word
Guide me, Lord,
Teach me Holy Spirit
Let your word be heard
In me, and in the world today.
AMEN
