I’m spending the weekend in Swanwick (here) at the Vineyard Prayer Network conference. So far it’s been refreshing!
I was meditating on Psalm 25 earlier, and had a few stand-out phrases that struck me anew. “All day long I put my hope in you” (v5) was one, as was “for in you I take refuge” (v20).
I also spent some time thinking about Jesus’ words in Matt 16… “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
Got that phrase… come after me… stuck in my head…
That’s a beautiful invitation, isn’t it? The Vineyard in B.C. is having a ‘spring blow out’ with their DVDs, books, etc. . i get the emails. I’m thinking of buying the “Welcoming the Holy Spirit” DVD set. . great price.
This was a common phrase in Jesus’s day, as it was to follow your rabbi. “To Come After Me,” litterally to follow after Him and learn.
