Deuteronomy
32: 7 (ESV)
7 Remember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.
How often do
you consider the things of God?
I named this
devotional, “Light Reflections”, and yet I realize that some of these
reflections are not so light, after all.
Maybe it’s
just me, but when I consider or reflect on the nature of God, for me, it’s just
too much to take in.
I can’t
explain it, but I’m not sure why the God as we know Him, would send His one and
only Son into the world, to die in my place.
That is not a
cynical statement, but as I consider what my lot in life could have been, I’m a
little overwhelmed.
I wonder how
many people, are still overwhelmed when they consider the cross?
This is not an emotional moment for me per say, but then again, maybe it is.
Has the
message of the Gospel for some, gotten stale?
I hope that
is not the case, but then I’m not convinced that the church of Christ is all
that thrilled any more, about Holy week.
As I
remember the days of old, I’m so thankful for a Mom who showed me how important
this week is.
One of the
things I love the most about being a Grandpa, is for the opportunity to have my
Grandbabies ask me about Jesus, one day.
I don’t even
have to think about what my answer is going to be.
The way I
really feel, is still right on the very edge of my heart…and I’m going to be
sure to tell them, the first chance I get…
Ask
yourself:
·
When
I reflect on the things of God, am I still trying to find out who God is, or am
I still trying to find out who I am?
