A Wild Beauty,
God’s Glory Always!
Deuteronomy 10:12-15
So now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? Only to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord your God and his decrees that I am commanding you today, for your own well-being. Although heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord your God, including the earth with all that is in it, yet the Lord set his heart in love on your ancestors alone and chose you, their descendants after them, out of all the peoples, as it is today.
Revelation 14:7
He said in a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.’
Words of Grace For Today
What God has done for us!
What God has done for us is beyond comprehension!
What God has done for us is wondrous!
God has chosen us!
The hubristic human take is always God has chosen us instead of others, or chosen to favour us more than others.
God has chosen us, all of us!
God has chosen us, setting God’s heart in love on all of us!
What can we do in response to the love that makes life possible, and sustains it for us no matter what comes our way?!
We can return God’s love with our love for God, and for God’s peoples!
That love starts with the fear, love and trust of God.
From there it is rather simple to know what God wants of us and profoundly difficult to do it day after day.
What a life of adventure!
