Reflection for the Week – 8 September 2026
Ezekiel’s vision was set amidst the background of exile, loss and uncertainty.
Posted in Faith
Fear of change makes me want to cling to the way things have always been done. I wonder if I am reluctant to look outside the square to see the new thing God will do, in and through me.
Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
- Isaiah 43:18-19a
Prayer
Open my eyes, dear God, to the wonders of nature, where new things are being created every day. Open my heart and my mind to see the endless possibilities that change can bring. I want to allow God to make a path through the wilderness of mindless routine. To make way for the new thing God will do.
