Reading: Psalm 124:1-5

1 If the Lord had not been on our side—

let Israel say—

2 if the Lord had not been on our side

when people attacked us,

3 they would have swallowed us alive

when their anger flared against us;

4 the flood would have engulfed us,

the torrent would have swept over us,

5 the raging waters

would have swept us away.

Thought for Reflection:

Sometimes it is a good thing to stop and take stock – as the old chorus says “count your blessings name them one by one” – and here the pilgrim imagines life without God and finds it a scary prospect! Think about what God has done in the past and then face the present and future with confidence!

Prayer:

Lord, help us to appreciate what you have done and to see you at work today.

Psalm 124
