The Cup

Too Full

Even Paradise

Can Seem

Too Much!

Psalm 94:19

When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

Luke 22:42-43

Jesus spoke, ‘Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done.’ Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength.

Words of Grace For Today

Too often there are just so many things competing for attention and accomplishment and concern and and and

and

where do we find the energy, time, and heart to

well

anything?

Only then when the Holy Spirit intervenes do we find peace

and

heart

and

energy

to move onward in the day

doing what is necessary and good,

thanking God for everything that keeps us alive

and praying that God will forgive our sins, too many as they always are.

So then

we move into the day

ready to bless all we encounter

with God’s Grace,

God’s costly Grace.

Which sometimes is a cup we would rather not bear, not at all, not at all.

Yet we move into the day trusting that God’s will will be done, and God

will

walk

with

us

through it all.
