Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.My experience of culture today is that the "right now" rules. Yet another story emerged from congress in the last week; they can't agree on a farm bill. So they most likely will pass an extension for a month in the hopes they can work something out. We live in a series of extensions. Everyone talks about solving problems for future generations. Everyone acts to preserve their current power and place. Our concern for "right now" seems inescapable.
I don't think it was better in the past. I hope it will be better in the future, but I'm not holding my God-given breath. But, this I know.
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.On the days we manage to make progress as humans--the work of Nelson Mandela is a gift to generations of people--I am grateful for the guidance of the everlasting God.
On the days we are stupid and petty and cannot move from the weight of our secret sins, God is still the everlasting God.
The plan for today it to "green the church." All generations of God's people living and able will be there to do a small part. It is, for me, a manifestation of God's work and wisdom.
"Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and prosper for us the work of our hands--And, may we be together certain that we live and move and have our being in the Everlasting God.
