BISHOP’S BIBLE CHALLENGE
This week’s verse is Being Witnesses – John 10.10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that
they may have life and have it abundantly.
For your information:
Yesterday was the feast day of St Benedict, someone who long ago
realised that, even then, modern life is too busy. He began to live
as a hermit, but then gathered followers around him and had to draw
up what we know today as the Benedictine rule, a way of life
designed to help focus on God and God’s Word.
Applying that rule to our own daily life might mean building a
daily ‘quiet time’ into our day. It might mean consciously
‘bringing God into’ whatever we are doing. Or perhaps we can stop
at midday and say the Lord’s Prayer. If we could all agree that at
midday, we will stop whatever we are doing and say the Lord’s
Prayer that can help to keep up the habit. Knowing that we are all
doing the same thing can be a powerful incentive not to stop.
Those few minutes focused on God can make all the difference to
the rest of our day.

Diocesan Vision Prayer
Heavenly Father, we embrace Your call for us to make disciples,
to be witnesses and to grow leaders. Give us the eyes to see Your
vision, ears to hear the prompting of Your Spirit and courage to
follow in the footsteps of Your Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. Amen.
