The Passing Days
‘From everlasting to everlasting you are God’
(Psalm 90:2)
The end of a year is a special time of reflection and planning.
It is also a reminder that as time goes, we age and will eventually pass away.
Human beings are frail, fragile creatures. But the Christian message gives us hope.
Our hope is in the majestic God, the maker and sustainer of all things.
He is not the victim of time. Indeed, he invented time for us to live in, but as the Psalmist says,
he is eternal, everlasting, never the victim of time and its passing days.
It is wonderful to know this, because in the midst of the ocean of time, there is sure and certain
ground on which we may stand. There is One in whom we can put all our plans and hopes.
He deals with our past, he sustains our present and he guarantees our future.
Question for thought: What will be my thoughts and prayers on New Year’s Eve?
Gracious Lord, we bring before you Mothers Union worldwide asking that we never lose sight of
upholding Christ’s teaching on marriage and Christian family life.
We thank you that over these past 150 years members in your name have served you faithfully
bringing hope and your love to their communities. Bless Kathleen Snow as she encourages
members and as she looks to the future of Mothers Union in an increasingly secular world.
May your name be hallowed throughout the world. Amen.
