Sabbath Reflection: Trinity Sunday

I belong to an Anglican church in Washington DC. Each week the scriptures read and preached on follow the Revised Common Lectionary. My Sabbath Reflection on a Sunday will be the collect or prayer for the day, the list of lectionary readings and an extract from the scriptures that stood out to me that week.

I pray you hear God's invitation to you to come sit with Him a while.

The Collect for today:
Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

 The lectionary readings appointed for today:

Isaiah 6:1-8
Psalm 29
Romans 8:12-17 John 3:1-17

Romans 8: 12-17

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
