The Fundamental Decision

Pastor Morgan Murray, Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church

Lent is often described as a journey toward the cross. In his reflection on how this journey is like traveling through a desert, Alessandro Pronzato writes that it is a place in which one must “face situations one would rather avoid, and avoid questions one would rather forget.” In this short parable about prayer, Jesus shows the heart of a person who has decided to take this journey and how God responds to this decision.

PRAY

Artist: Lori Butler

The original title of this iconic ad for RCA Records is “His Master’s Voice”. It inspired me to shift from talking to listening to God’s word. The dog is a symbol of a person in the true act of praying, he is listening to his MASTER, as we all should.

Walk Slowly Beside the Road

As others rush past
And do not hurry to catch up.
At last you will. At last.

Be Thou My Vision
