Note from John: My apologies to you faithful readers that an error on my part caused Voices Together for Saturday, the Lord’s Day and Monday the wrong meditation and then repeated twice. You can get what should have been sent at the website of the Fellowship of Ailbe.
Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts. On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God. Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help.
Lord, I have a fear that this affair in the prison is not finished, that there are other shoes to drop. Yet the knowing that You are near, that You have always been near, always demonstrating that You had a plan for me even though I refused to acknowledge it, is now the sustaining power in my innermost being. You have ordered my day and all within it for my good and Your honor. May You be glorified in my life.
Today’s readings in the Psalms:
Morning: Psalm 20
