Feet on the Ground

9.12 [Sermon] Feet on the Ground : Psalm 131 

It’s always a privilege to hear from our good friend, Chris Lawrence of InnerCHANGE in East Harlem.

Chris Lawrence - We are inundated, overwhelmed and easily crushed by the scale of what is needed to put things right in our world. Howard Thurman said “Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Psalm 131 calls us to humility. A Psalm of just three verses which has special resonance in a time of climate crisis, of failed attempts to bring peace to regions such as Afghanistan. So many of us feel unsure about how to be part of the solution and not just making things worse. Jesus wants us to live lives we can love. Humility and meekness in the face of complex apparently unsolvable issues is our calling.
