“I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.
But heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast.”
It’s not easy having a steadfast heart when people are trying to kill you! But David manages it. We can too, even if we’ve heard some harsh words spoken during the forty days. Today would be a good day to make a decision to forgive anyone who’s offended you. Forgiving isn’t always immediate, but in the end Christian forgiveness must be total – it’s not just that we don’t harm those who have harmed us, but also that we wish for them every good thing we wish for ourselves.
You are welcome to a prayer meeting at 9.15am at the Vicarage
