Desist!

Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
Psalm 46:10 (Young’s Literal Translation)

A reflection on the text shared at the beginning of a Fresh Expressions Gathering:


Desist
Stop doing
Cease
Abstain
How apposite
in our conversations
about the new things that 
God is doing.
For every Fresh Expression
however defined
there has to be a
Desist
We have to make space
get out of the way
in order to enable
the fresh breeze of God
(or even the tickle of a breath)
to blow through our structures
creating life
allowing love to escape
and overflow
into the communities we serve
Desist
and know God
who will be exalted
