Refreshment
‘Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,
that times of refreshment may come from the Lord’
Acts 3:19
Our consciences are sometimes our friends and sometimes our worst enemies.
It is right for us to be alert to sin and be sorry for it. But when we repent and turn to the Lord,
he tells us, with a voice much stronger than our consciences that our sins are wiped away.
And yet, our consciences may still nag us as we remember past mistakes.
It is good that when we focus again on the cross of Jesus, we receive ‘times of refreshment’,
times of peace with God, of assurance of his love. In fact, he gives refreshment too when
we are suffering and the reminder that when we go to be with
Jesus all sin and pain and suffering will be no more.
Question for thought: Can I remember times of refreshment in my own life?
Almighty Heavenly Father, we pray for the nations of Grenada, St Lucia, St Vincent
and the Grenadines in the West Indies. Protect them as they cope with hurricanes
each year and we pray that as they care for the vulnerable in their community
through visiting the sick, parenting and family support they may
be able to share the hope of trusting in you. Amen.
