Prayer in parliament

This morning about 100 or Christians from across the Cape Town city and surrounds gathered in Parliament to pray for South Africa. The focus of the prayers this morning was on the youth of our nation.

I had been asked to share the devotion. It was such a joy to see younger people and older people of all races praying with passion and commitment for God's grace to be established in justice, mercy and provision.

The following verse has been resonating within me for the last few days:

'Mantain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed' Isa 56:1

Very very nice guitar... I think I may have known it in a previous incarnation.

In preparation for my sermon series on Mt 5:1-12 and now the concluding sermon on Mt 5:13-16 I've been looking at Is 56 onwards. Hectic relationship and implications for us as Christians.
