Thought for the day
Wow - what a world if we could only live like this. Speaking the truth, avoiding slander, and living peacefully, honestly, justly and with generosity. We know full well that we cannot meet the psalmists standards, we cannot of ourselves ascend the mountain of the Lord. But we can do so at the invitation of Jesus, purged by his cross, in the strength of the spirit. And then just maybe we can begin to rise to challenge of the lifestyle set out in these three readings. These values may be rare in the world, they may have been absent in our lives to date, but we can begin the process of transforming them. And then despite the folly and chaos and bribery present in the world, the Kingdom of God might just be visible.
