“I, the Lord, have spoken!’
Never a more comforting yet terrifying phrase was read. To comprehend the power of the almighty concluding the destruction of a nation is terrifying.
Lord, let us respect your power. Help us to understand the brevity of your existence to the extent our feeble minds can muster.
Yet, do not let our hearts be confused. You are not an out of control angry God. You are a God of justice and mercy. Help us to see that more clearly. Unveil our eyes to the story arch of existence. From creation to the future; help us to see where we live in your creation story, Lord.
We want to bring you glory. Not to fight against you or to resist you. We want to honor you. Our lives are just puffs of smoke on the timeline of creation. Humble us and help us see where we can honor you and bring you glory.
Amen
