Thursday 5 December

Isaiah 26:1-6; Psalm 118:1, 8-9, 19-21, 25-27; Matthew 7:21, 24-27

Fast and furious

Some people laugh when they see road workers leaning on their shovels. But anyone who digs holes for a living understands. Digging foundations in rock does require persistence and determination. If you are doing it all day, it also requires a relaxed rhythm and lots of breathers if you are not to wear yourself out. Hold my heart, Lord, to the beat of your grace
