ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHING
October 8, 2021
Have you ever been forced to pause? You really didn’t plan to slow down or come to a complete stop, but something halted your forward movement… and it was good. In that moment, all the busyness and that frenzied feeling were lost as you found yourself fully in the moment. In Habakkuk 2:20, we read: “..the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him.” There are places and times where we expect to be brought to a pause, but there are other times where it feels more like an abrupt and unexpected intermission. Someone who knows what it means to move fast is Sebastian Vettel, a world champion race car driver. But this fast-paced individual said, “Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.” Where might God be pressing pause on your life beyond Sunday morning worship? Where might you be needing to experience an abrupt and unexpected intermission from the craziness of life?

Life can feel beyond busy, even chaotic. Wherever it is that we need to be brought to a stop, O Good and Gracious God, make it so. Amen.
