Evening: Psalm 51; Luke 7:1-17
Moralizing
doesn’t work because ‘being good’ doesn’t excite us – we know inside
that we cannot be good by our own hard work. To find the good life, we
need inner transformation, and that comes from the presence of God.
Brother Lawrence, 17th century French monk, practiced ‘the
presence of God’. Through regular prayer, God became quietly present in
his life. Jesus was called “God with us”, and his presence came to be
known as a source of healing for those who trust him. God’s presence can
transform my life, yes; more importantly, it is renewing everything.
And that is exciting.
Graham
