Reflection of the Week - 19 June 2019

Posted Jun 19, 2019 in Faith

Australia is the second most multi cultural country in the world.

Its life, culture and history is dominated by immigration.

We have one of the most stable civil governments in the world.

We are one of the most prosperous.

Australia is attractive and people long for the civic, religious, financial and social stability Australia maintains.

Father of all the nations.

You call us out of the good of national pride and security

To the great of God's kingdom purpose for the nations.

Help us to understand the times with wisdom and discernment

It's complex

It's very complex

When cultures clash

When expectations differ

When it takes several generations to settle

To truly understand

Help us Lord

 

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Hebrews 13:1-3

Help us to welcome the dispossessed
To be vigilant in values of freedom, justice and acceptance
To be open to the stranger
To be generous
To move from charity to mission
And trust the Gospel
That is for all the nations

A kingdom purpose is stirring
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
The nations they are crying
And when the people cry
Its God's time
Because he hears the cry
And rises to welcome them home

Find us Father

Soften our hearts

Open our minds

That in our time

And generation

We may welcome the stranger
