**"Rivers of Reflection: A Sunday Devotional"**

In the quiet embrace of a flowing stream, we find solace and wisdom echoing through the prophet Jeremiah's words:

> "Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. They shall be like a tree planted by the water, sending out its roots by the stream."

As you sit beside this tranquil stream, let the scriptures from the past week guide your reflections:

> "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." - Luke 6:36

> "Come now, let us argue it out, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be like snow." - Isaiah 1:18

> "The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." - Mark 10:45

> "By the Lord, test the mind and search the heart." - Jeremiah 17:10

> "But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him." - Genesis 37:4

Engage in a conversation with the Lord, sharing which scripture spoke to you today. Reflect on the past week – moments of closeness, struggles in faith, and times of distance. By the streaming waters, listen to the Lord, discern His words, and consider your response.

In the ebb and flow of life, just as the stream continues its course, our spiritual journey encounters highs and lows. Like the tree rooted by the water, may we find strength in trust, mercy in our actions, and restoration despite scarlet stains. Recovery echoes the transformative promise that, through the Lord's grace, the scarlet sins of our past can be washed white as snow.

"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul." - George Washington Carver

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter." - Francis Chan

"God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile." - Max Lucado

Dear Lord, as we sit by the stream of reflection, grant us the wisdom to discern your voice and the courage to respond. In moments of closeness, strengthen our trust; in struggles, shower us with mercy, and in times of distance, draw us near. Let the stream of your love wash away our scarlet sins, leaving us renewed in the purity of snow. Amen.
