Trusting God in Difficult Times

In the Office of Readings for Week III we pray, “May we live in the radiance of God.”  And, in 2 Peter 3:8 we read, “There is no time with God: a thousand years, a single day, it is all one.”

 

Today we ponder these excerpts from Psalm 90 “…. Our life is over like a sigh.  Our span is seventy years or eighty for those who are strong.  And most of these are emptiness and pain. They pass swiftly and we are gone…. In the morning, fill us with your love; we shall exult and rejoice all our days.  Give us joy to balance our affliction for the years when we knew misfortune.”

 

“Christian optimism is based on Trusting in of the power of God’s grace to guide us.  It believes that God’s Kingdom will come, and we are called to participate in building that Kingdom and then living in it for all eternity.  We know that in the end God wins.”   

Dcn. George Kelly
