Lectio Divina: Disturb Us, Lord (Sir Francis Drake)

Sir Francis Drake's Disturb Us, Lord speaks deeply to the heart of our faith and calling; challenging us to confront the comfort zones we cling to and inviting us to dream of a greater world. To see the Kingdom of God come alive in our midst, we must leave behind the safety of what we know and trust that, even when we lose sight of the land, the stars will guide us forward. This is not just about courage but about vision—the vision to see the world as God sees it, full of potential for renewal and redemption. It is God’s vision, but it is also ours, for we have been invited to partner in it. May today's Lectio move and inspire you to unfurl your sails and allow God to take you where you need to be to make a difference in the world.

A thoughtful poem that I was unfamiliar with. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you, Mark. This is a perfect reflection to begin the new year. A powerful reminder of God's presence. A reminder that God's will for us is not for us to live without challenges because then we wouldn't need God and be examples of His power in our lives. 🙏✨💝

A great passage to help us discern if we’re truly on God’s path..thank you.
