Recall:
God’s love is meteoric,
his loyalty astronomic,
His purpose titanic,
his verdicts oceanic.
Yet in his largeness
nothing gets lost;
Not a man, not a mouse,
slips through the cracks.
How exquisite your love, O God!
How eager we are to run under your wings,
To eat our fill at the banquet you spread
as you fill our tankards with Eden spring water.
You’re a fountain of cascading light,
and you open our eyes to light.
Psalm 36:5-9, The Message
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai carrying the two Tablets of The Testimony, he didn’t know that the skin of his face glowed because he had been speaking with GOD. Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, saw his radiant face, and held back, afraid to get close to him. Exodus 34:29-30, The Message
Reflect:
God is huge, God's purposes are huge. God is constantly working at the big picture level. Yet God still also works on the individual level, according to the Psalmist. That ability, if I can be completely honest, is on the very edge of my ability to believe. But what if it's true? How encouraging. I would be foolish not to put my complete trust in the one who has my best interest and the universe's best interest at heart.
Gotta love this passage from Exodus. Haven't seen many glowing faces lately!
Respond:
Exquisitely-loving God, love me. I don't know that I ever just let you do that. I'm always doing, always worrying about the stuff I've done. Rarely do I stop aand just let you love me. Not that you need my permission, you are always loving me. I just don't often enough stop and enjoy it. Thanks for not letting me fall through the cracks.
