An Awesome Thing
Friday, June 23, 2023
Like Sunshine Reflected
Precious, Golden
Off The Ice-glazed Snow,
So God’s Great Works
Reflect Off Our Hearts and Minds
To All Around Us.
Exodus 34:10
He said: I hereby make a covenant. Before all your people I will perform marvels, such as have not been performed in all the earth or in any nation; and all the people among whom you live shall see the work of the Lord; for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.
Matthew 4:23
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Words of Grace For Today
There is much in life that can surprise us, but nothing blows us away like the works that God does among us.
Take …
Well take any old day, of any random person, such as yourself.
Look closely.
Perhaps it is filled with unpleasant or downright terrible things.
Look past all that.
Look at how, in spite of it all, you still breathe.
With breath in and out, you can smile.
And with a smile in the face of all the terribleness of any old day of any random person like one’s self,
one can know that God has worked yet another awesome thing.
Awe is the reality of seeing God at work,
Smiling with gentle steadfast love for us, for us all.
