Don’t Go Bananas.
Go YoYo
Back Into
God’s Gracious Hand.
Nehemiah 9:31
Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
John 14:19
In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live.
Words of Grace For Today
There are so many of us people on earth that it is a wonder that it does not just wobble out of round and tumble into the sun, ending all the injustice and evil and destruction and lies with which we weight our ways.
But God, as in times too many to count in the past, does not extinguish us, end us, or forsake us, though creation might be much better off without us!
So why?
Why does God tolerate all the evil we generate each day, weighting down the timeline around the earth so that it reaches the sun with enough force to wobble it out of it’s orbit in the Milky Way. (Maybe that’s why the Milky Way is wobbling to the path of Andromeda Galaxy!?)
We seem to be dead-set on creating more and more wobble with our days, wobbling everything back into the chaos of pre-creation so fast it’s hard to tell what was that is now no more.
Thankfully God sent Jesus to model for us how to live, without all the wobble … and since we find that impossible to mimic, Jesus also sets us free from the guilt of our wobbles.
We get to live again, like a yo yo brought back from spinning on the end of the string, back into the hand of God. We live, active and capable of love, compassion and mercy, not because we are so good, but because Jesus gives us life (life lived as he lived it … inside the realm of God’s good earth.)
Sleeper beepers, what are we going to do today, as God pulls us back into the ‘game’ of life?
