Zone of Silence

Stopping at a rest stop on the freeway, I took my snack purchase to one of the tables.  It is there that I discovered the newly designed method for physical distancing while eating.  A divider has been installed down the middle of the table, and a sticker on the divider states: “This is a non-speaking zone.”

In a culture where eating together is an important part of doing relationship, a new barrier has arisen between people.

With the cleaning staff walking to and fro between the tables, who would dare to ignore such a warning.

Created to communicate with each other and with God, people suddenly find themselves in a non-speaking zone.  Communication is hindered.

There are also things that interfere with our communication with God.  Scripture mentions a number of heart attitudes and behaviours that separate us from God, thwarting our attempts to talk with God.

Did you think of the ten blocks to prayer that are mentioned in this article?

Praise and Prayer

• Praise the Lord that Amazing Grace Alliance Church is taking the next steps in having the visiting pastoral couple (mentioned last week) appointed as the church’s new pastor.
• Please pray for Charlie who is comatose in ICU due to a serious infection.  Please pray for healing and that God will speak to him in a special way during this time.
• Please pray for our MK high school graduates.  We are delighted to celebrate with Melody Truong on Friday.  Please pray for her and others as the Covid-world is a difficult place to live, study, and work.  Pray that God will provide for her and others like her.
