A Meditation from Pastor Maria
March 16, 2020
Yesterday, like many other churches in our denomination and in our community of Selma, we held our last in-person worship service for a while. We will be moving online for now. We don’t know how long that will last, but we do know that community is important even when we can’t see each other.
This is the first of the daily devotions that will be posted to give us each something to consider and talk about during this time when we cannot meet in person. I would invite you to read the passage and consider the questions, then call or message a friend and share your thoughts together. Especially consider calling your friends who do not use the internet as much as you do, so they, too, can be part of this time of devotion in community with others.
We are all having to deal with so many restrictions and changes in our daily lives, with every indication that more are on the way. We are living under a State of Emergency in a state of uncertainty. We don’t deal well with uncertainty. We like to know what is coming next so we can make plans. And when we don’t know what to expect, we worry.
Philippians 4:6-7 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
What worries you today?
What would you pray for today?
What would bring you peace of mind?
