The weather in the UK has been bad of late, much snow and ice which has caused a lot of difficulty for many folk. Children have not known from one day to the next whether their school will be open for lessons or even exams, and emergency services have been struggling to cope in some areas. Small businesses who reply on couriers to deliver their goods have backlogs of orders, and shops in small villages have no stock to sell, as locals have cleared the shelves and fresh deliveries are hard to get through the blocked roads.
Hopefully the end is in sight now, as temperatures are expected to rise before the weekend, but it is interesting to see how frustrating the uncertainty of weather conditions can become.
So it is good to know that above and beyond all this temporary distraction, we have a God who we can be certain of, who is not influenced by daily fluctuations in weather systems and poor logistical decisions made by local polititians over ordering salt and grit. Beyond the ups and downs of all our lives is a constant love and concern, a constant source of strength and comfort, that can overcome all that the world throws at us on a daily basis.
I arise to-day :
might of Heaven
brightness of Sun
whiteness of Snow
splendour of Fire
speed of Light
swiftness of Wind
depth of Sea
stability of Earth
firmness of Rock.
I arise to-day :
Might of God
Power of God
Wisdom of God
Eye of God
Ear of God
Word of God
Hand of God
Path of God
Shield of God
Host of God
(from The Book of Cerne, 9th C)
