Liberton Kirk Celtic Devotions

 

LK Celtic Devotions

‘Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.’ ~Psalm 119 v 105

You are encouraged to make time each day for the pattern of devotions. Starting tomorrow feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday and in the evening. Pray with Him continually. This pattern is based on the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions, which relates to the Kirk’s origins. Share with others the treasures or hurdles you discover. Let us commit together to pilgrimage with our God. You will find these devotionals being posted on the website and on facebook daily at 7am. The Church magazine provides a shorter version of this devotional.

‘May God be gracious to us and bless us that Your ways may be known on earth, and make His face shine upon us, your salvation among all nations.’ ~Psalm 67 vs 1-2
