Sunday Reflections

The Lord upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down.

Psalm 145:14  

 O Lord Thou knowest how busy I must be this day: if I forget thee, do not thou forget me.

                                                                                                                  Sir Jacob Astley                                                        

This prayer above was uttered by a soldier before a battle in the English Civil War.  Some of our days can be like a series of little wars on many fronts. It is so easy to be consumed by them,

by the energy and attention they require.

If we forget God in the heat of battle,  he does not forget us. And when we remember

him and our need for him, he is just as near as he was the last time we were

fully aware of his presence.
