Isaiah 40:25-31, Psalm 103, Matt. 11:28-30

God’s greatness

Who made the stars and calls each by name? The whole earth and all in it? Our God, so powerful, so strong, so much vigour, so loving. As we pray to him, year in and year out, we perhaps become too familiar. We forget his immensity of mind, strength and love. We should ponder these, especially those of us who are honoured to distribute Holy Communion. To be allowed to hold his Body and Blood and give it to others, is a gift beyond belief. We can only thank God and rest in his love when life gets tough.
