“Where Do We Turn?”
"Where do we turn?"
Jesus comes out of the temple with his closest disciples: Peter, James, John, and Andrew, and they ask him for the playbook: “tell us what's going to happen and tell us how we'll know when this is event is going to be…” He gives the first of the three warnings, “beware that no one leads you astray — many will try…” I don’t know about you, but I am feeling lately like it’s a tall ask to not feel alarmed. When I look around the world and see what’s going on, I am alarmed!
So I think to myself, and wonder if you might also ponder - when things feel as though they are crumbling beneath or even all around us - where do we turn? I’d say that because of our faith, we are blessed with a grounding God to whom we can turn, and that we have the gift of Scripture, and perhaps in particular the Psalms to anchor our own practice of faith.
A few additional online resources that I find helpful - perhaps you will also:
