What Will We Do,
With God with Us
Every Moment of Every Day?
Proverbs 14:31
Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but those who are kind to the needy honour him.
Matthew 25:40
And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
Words of Grace For Today
When God says God will be with us, that is good news for us, and …
And it is not good news for those who would do us harm or those who have done us harm.
While so much is done that people will be accountable for, what people will be accountable and fully accountable for, is what they do to God.
There are no rules of evidence, perjury that accounts for anything at all, or half truths that can make any difference at all. God knows everything. No corrupt police or unjust judges or criminals (though they are all pretty much the same, aren’t they?) can do anything to deceive God.
Justice will be based all on truth, and on truth alone, as what is done is done to God’s people and God’s own self.
Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.
Only God’s Grace saves any of us. I’m not sure what God does to those who harm God, whether it’s Grace or Justice, that God chooses in their end.
It’s not really important, other than to trust God’s Grace for ourselves, and God’s wisdom to work against all evil,
For today is a wonderful day, a day to give God thanks for walking with us each step of our lives.
God asks that we honour the needy, and provide care and truth for all of God’s family, all of creation, and even all God’s wayward people who somehow think they can get away with harming God’s good people.
Quite a task for each day …
each wonderful, awesome day that God gives us breath, grace, life, and hope.
