Lost in Wonder: Five Day Bible Plan  With Steve Morris

DAY 4 OF 5

Day Four: Wonder and Hope

Reflect:

Hope is at the heart of wonder. I once took our Memory Café choir to sing at Southwark Cathedral. We went in a tiny old school bus and it brought hope to all.

‘What had been a polite event, a professional event, became a heart event. I think that we touched people’s hearts. Our obvious joy and vulnerability touched people. Plus, they knew the songs, and as we sang, they were given permission to let their hair down and join in with us. We know that singing has the power to uplift and soothe – just think of David singing to the mentally distressed Saul (1 Sam. 16:23). Our humble offering had the extraordinary sense of ushering us all into the presence of God.

‘What was obvious was the quality of the singing was secondary to the spirit of the singing. Plus, with our group of people with dementia and their carers, we had a message of hope.’ (Steve Morris, Lost in Wonder [Milton Keynes: Authentic Media, 2021] p.60).

Prayer: 

Father, fill us full of hope – hope for today and for the future. Help us to bring hope to others.
