Lectionary Reflection
Year B, Proper 20, Psalm

Psalm 54:4
 
Behold, God is my helper; *
     it is the Lord who sustains my life. 

Reflection on Psalm 54:4
by the Rev Dcn Helen Hanten

Indeed, it is God who sustains all life with an intricate web of living things, and a delicate balance of both biotic and abiotic factors in ecosystems. It is up to us to love and protect this gift of life on our planet and  to proclaim that the creation itself is a window to God's goodness.
