Joy for Fall: “Setting aside our doing”

Scroll to the bottom for a link to listen to this post on our Some Comfort and Joy podcast!

“God, brilliant Lord,
Your name echoes around the world.”  Psalm
8:9

Setting aside our doing to be with God

Sunset whispering pink threaded with blue and yellow
What human might
What effort
Could out-do this temporal painting?

Waves returning to shore
Swaying an ancient rhythm
Vast 
We cannot control the sea.

Stars prick the night sky
Limitless universe
We bow beneath
The weight of God’s glory.

Our to-do list melts
Under Your holy gaze
Pass by here, Lord
So we can catch a glimpse
Of your might.



We hope this brings you some comfort and joy! You can spread the joy by liking, commenting and sharing this post with others.

Some Comfort and Joy was developed as a devotional resource that follows the rhythms and seasons of the liturgical year from an Anabaptist-Mennonite perspective.
