Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13
Ezekiel 36:24-28
Mark 11:27-33
The verses in the
prophet made me wonder what I was saying when I made statements about being God’s
agent in the world to see that God’s kingdom plans were achieved. Sometimes we
get caught up in the notion that since we are living, sentient beings and God
is, but is not, but… we are the ones who do things. As faithful believers we do
have responsibilities; we do have a part in the work. Problems arise when we
inflate our role and we find ourselves in the role Israel often found for
itself in the prophet stories. Leaders and certain aspects of society were
elevated over the rest of the people and to the detriment of the rest of the
people.
God handled
the problem.
God restored
the nation.
Action verbs
and God: still together.
