Prayers from Amos
Amos 1:9-15 This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Tyre, even for four, I will not relent.Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom, disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre that will consume her fortresses.” 11 This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Edom, even forContinue reading “Prayers from Amos”
Prayers from Amos
Amos 1:1-8 The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa—the vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash[a] was king of Israel. 2 He said: “The Lord roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem;the pastures of the shepherds dry up, and the topContinue reading “Prayers from Amos”
Prayers from Amos
During 2020/21 I (Roz) had the huge privilege of walking alongside 4 young ladies who were serving at the church we were part of. Covid restrictions impacted how we were all living and the ways we could connect. Those ladies allowed me to share daily with them from God’s word as I sought to encourageContinue reading “Prayers from Amos”
A Lenten Afternoon with Tamar
Tamar, the 8th woman I have sat with this Lent. Her story as with the other women is not easy to hear. Abuse in so many forms and ways. Men who are supposed to be God’s people. Being on God’s side doesn’t seem to make a difference sadly to the way they act toward others.Continue reading “A Lenten Afternoon with Tamar”
A Lenten Afternoon with Dinah
Dinah’s story like so many girls and women throughout history is not easy to hear and is wider than the events that happen simply to her. It is twisted and complex. It doesn’t make easy reading and raises questions as to whose side we are supposed to be on. Rape is on all counts wrongContinue reading “A Lenten Afternoon with Dinah”
A Lenten Afternoon with Leah
This is when I come face to face my hypocrisy. It was uncomfortable with Rebekah and Rachel but there was outward beauty with them. Maybe if people saw me with them they would think I was beautiful too. Leah less so. Do I want to be seen with plain Leah. Yet she doesn’t need myContinue reading “A Lenten Afternoon with Leah”
An Lenten Evening catch up with Rebekah and Rachel
Its not a comfortable catch up. I don’t look up to Rebekah and Rachel as mothers of the faith to emulate. I see their choices, their actions and I judge. Not outwardly, but inwardly I tell myself that I don’t act like them, that I am better than them. I lift myself up, my whitewashedContinue reading “An Lenten Evening catch up with Rebekah and Rachel”
A Lenten Afternoon with Hagar
She may not be in my circle of friends, she is a servant. I may not keep servants but neither am I one, so she is not in my circle. Yet she comes this afternoon to sit with me and has someone she wants me to see, to meet. She wants me to meet God,Continue reading “A Lenten Afternoon with Hagar”
A Lenten afternoon with Sarai
Abram’s wife is my companion this damp grey afternoon. Ros Clarke speaks to Sarai’s infertility, to her use of Hagar, to her mistreatment of Hagar. How easy it is for us to take matters into our own hands. Even when the initial vision, promise is from God and His word that He will bring somethingContinue reading “A Lenten afternoon with Sarai”
