Fidelity, Love and Eternity
Today’s texts have overwhelmed me with the richness of visuals and depth of God’s goodness! Three things are beautifully illuminated:
- God’s fidelity
- Love without measure
- Eternity
Fidelity is a biggie today.
All throughout these texts, we are given examples of the LORD’s promises, and —this is key — His constancy of their fulfillment. His absolute greatness is incomparable. Promises matter to God and He is faithful in all things … we can trust EVERYTHING to, in and about Him!
God’s love is literally without measure.
My vocation as an artist constantly reminds me of this unedited, full-blown love as I work in the studio. He destroys the boundaries established by sin, fear and doubt. He shifts my sight toward Him and all of me is restored … enabling me to share the beauty and love HE IS through my work! Set yourself to serve Him without reservation and His love will completely transform everything.
Finally, eternity … WOW!
The texts are abundant with how God’s fidelity, greatness, love, and even David’s Kingdom ARE FOREVER! It truly calls us to relinquish our own self-sufficiency and the need to be the creator (instead of being in relationship with The Creator). He makes the way before us … Glory be to Him!
REFLECTIONS
- What might be some initial steps you’d be willing to take – even just for today — in giving all things to Him if you knew His promises are always fulfilled?
- In what ways do you put boundaries on God’s creation, blessings and great love? How might you lessen your grip on self-attainment and instead realign with the wonderment of His surprise, His constancy even in unknown?
- By reflecting on eternity, might you relinquish the efforts by your hands alone, and instead honor God as the true Creator of all that is good and right?
