Perspective
This morning, Messiah College held a chapel for employees which proved to be a time to settle before the Lord corporately as a community of believers…to focus on him in song, prayer, and liturgy. Given the uneasy state of our economy and the struggles that distract every company and organization these days, it was especially refreshing to be reminded that the Lord is our refuge and strength.
Our opening reading this morning:
Holy God — in this precious hour, we pause and gather to hear your word. To do so, we break from our work responsibilites and from our play fantasies; we move from our fears that overwhelm and from our ambitions that are too strong. Free us in these moments from every distraction, that we may focus to listen, that we may hear, that we may change. Amen.
