God’s Turning It All Right-Side-Up
From Disaster to Distant Galaxies to the Smallest Subatomic Particle-Wave
Psalm 105:7
He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
.
Matthew 5:10
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
…
Words of Grace for Today –
…
God judges everything, everyone, every issue in all the universe.
We, of course, make our own judgments, against each other, against ourselves, against nature itself as we extract, exploit, and lay waste God’s wonders in us and in all creation.
God’s judgments are long since disclosed,
as best we were able and willing to be disclosed to
through the generations.
…
And then Jesus came, the clearest revelation of God’s will for us and all creation, turning our disclosing and discussing and diverting and distracting from
God’s will already revealed to us.
Until now we have no excuse,
except all the same old excuses,
for not knowing God’s will for us.
God’s will simply put: to love God with all our heart, mind, and strength (and soul),
and to love one another and all creation
as God’s gifts to us
to share
especially with the poor.
Always the poor.
For God turns everything upsidedown on us
making everything rightsideup.
The persecuted are blessed and given the Kingdom of Heaven.
(After the poor are blessed, and satisfied!)
