mur·mur·a·tion [mur-muh-rey-shuhn]  noun...a flock of starlings.
Origin:
1350–1400; Middle English  < Latin murmurātiōn-  (stem of murmurātiō ).

There is a natural rhythm to the world, a deep order that was spoken into existence long ago. It speaks in a language that artists interpret  and scientists  attempt to explain.

It is the meter of falling rain, of measured breath, of light playing through the leaves of trees. It is the measured beat of the butterfly wing, the march of an ant, the still sound of a puddle drying up.

It is the language of God speaking to us through what he has made. It speaks of Sovereignty over everything. It shows his control, his purpose.

We have lost the ability to hear this truth.  Why?

We have robbed ourselves  of stillness.

We have become victims to the plight of Martha...come and do this! Do that! Everything becomes a blur in the window. Reading and prayer become the goal and still we do not hear God. We have forgotten how to listen.

God speaks into this: come, and be still and know that I am God (Ps. 46:10).


How can you shift this? As Anglicans we have a gift.

Start your day with this devotion from our prayer book (p. 137). It will take you only a few minutes. Read:

From Psalm 51

Open my lips, O Lord, *
    and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
    and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence *
    and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again *
    and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
   as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope hrough the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
1 Peter 1:3

A period of silence (one minute)

The Apostles’ Creed is said; ...I believe in God, Father almighty

Pray for yourself and others, then the Lord’s Prayer


Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day:  Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

When we order our lives first thing of the day, we will flow in the rhythm of God...we will be like a murmuraion with the God-head. . Does this look like your life with God? Click here the link and watch ..murmuration
