Chris鈥� Pause For Thought: John Sentamu
听
One of the delightful characteristics of a human being is our insatiable desire to keep promises 鈥� in spite of our tendency to forget or our repeated failure to keep them.
听
For example, as a minister of the Gospel, many, many people say or write to me asking, 鈥淧lease pray for me and for such and such鈥�.
听
Normally, I do it straight away. Thankfully many a time prayers offered for people or situations are answered. What about the unanswered?
听
Well, with the passage of time, keeping the promise to pray constantly without ceasing is very challenging!
听
Chris and your listeners, am I the only one who struggles with the keeping of a whole host of promises alive? Keeping them not only for a day, a week, a month, a year, but as long as I live?
听
Her Majesty by Divine Providence Queen Head of the Commonwealth Defender of the Faith, in her first Christmas Day Broadcast in 1952, asked the people of the Commonwealth and Empire 鈥渢o pray for her on the day of her coronation 鈥� that God may give her wisdom and strength to carry out the solemn promises she would be making, and that she may faithfully serve God and her peoples, all the days of her life.鈥�
听
And the Queen writing in a foreword to the book, 鈥�The Servant Queen and the King she serves鈥�, published to celebrate her ninetieth birthday, she said:
听
鈥淚 have been 鈥� and remain 鈥� very grateful to you for your prayers and to God for His steadfast love. I have indeed seen His faithfulness.鈥�
Ah! That鈥檚 it! The prayers of others, God鈥檚 steadfast love and faithfulness, made visible, are key to the keeping of promises.
听
So is the sincerity and devotion manifested consistently by Her Majesty throughout her long and glorious reign. They have served greatly to strengthen that bond between the Sovereign and all her Peoples.
听
The keeping of promises? 鈥淧ut your hand into the hand of God 鈥︹��
听
And 鈥渟tay always within the boundaries where God鈥檚 love can reach and bless you鈥� (Jude 21a).
听
So rejoice and give thanks and have confidence for the future. Live today as if tomorrow is already here. Keep the promises. For the best is yet to be.
