Thought for the week

September 21

Writing these few thoughts my mind is still thrilled with Olympic glory – the gold medals Team G.B. achieved notwithstanding silver and bronze and all the personal best achievements; Mo Farrah, Jess Ennis, the Brownlees etc.  Then the Paralympics – again men and women seeking to perform to their very best ability – trained so hard, and now the fulfillment of their dream to receive the very highest accolades in sport; often going far beyond personal pain barriers, striving ever harder and refusing to give in or up. But what about us in our daily life are we struggling, hitting barriers that we feel too hard to get over or through? Life sometimes seems so rotten and hard – impossible to bear – is there any answer?  Psalm 23 talks about the Lord God being our shepherd, our helper, our guide through life, making us to rest up at times, restoring and refreshing us, being with us in even the very toughest of times, yes even when faced with bereavement and death.  Our Lord God wants to be with us – ask Him – don’t give up – let Him help.  By Chris Battye, Mount Tabor Community Church – Shawcross.
