Daily Office with Reflections from Mo. Rebecca, Monday, June 15

The Daily Office of Morning and Evening Prayer are found in the Book of Common Prayer or online:
​
Morning            Evening      

Psalm 80:3: "Restore us, O God of hosts; show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved."

This verse is our friendly reminder that, despite all our best efforts, we can't "save" ourselves. That doesn't mean we don't work as partners with God - not at all - because we must work and partner with God as followers of Jesus. But if and when we think we can fix everything ourselves, save the world, or restore all that is wrong, we need to be reminded that only God can do that. Our role is to throw ourselves and our lives upon God's love and mercy, and then work with God, leaning on God's power, to find ultimate restoration and salvation. 

This is good news friends! It's not all up to us. We have a role, but God is the King of the Universe. In God alone shall we be saved. Thanks be to God.

~Rebecca +
