It Will Be Revealed
“Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
and the glory of God shall be revealed among us.”
--A voice of a prophet
These words of hope served to inspire George Handel in the composition of “Messiah”. They need to be shared today as we start a new week of work. At the hospital we have experienced some very demanding days recently. We have had an abundance of people, patients and families, who feel like everything is crashing in on them. Many of them have unloaded on staff and it is only natural that we then feel the pressures of the workplace crashing in on us. It is the rhythm of the season.
The word is clear that the glory of God will be revealed among us. It will be revealed when we are willing to receive the “stuff” that has to be unloaded on us and then release that same “stuff” (plus the other additional “stuff” that comes from receiving another’s “stuff”). It will be revealed when we stand firm in our commitment to deliver the best in the most difficult of situations. It will be revealed when we remain compassionate when compassion is the only straw left.
It’s a new week. The week will be demanding in its own way. May you sense a Holy Presence with you as you reveal the glory of the Lord God in your words, thoughts and deeds.
