Our confidence is in the One who calls.
– Yahweh is calling
Earth's crammed with heaven,And every common bush afire with God,But only he who sees takes off his shoes;The rest sit round and pluck blackberries. ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The identity of YHWH's name doesn’t hang on the meaning of the name but on the demonstration of his character. ~ Carmen Joy Imes
When God asks what is in Moses’s hand, the staff in his hand is there because so many things have gone wrong in Moses’s life… Instead of searching for the gifts that make me special, I begin to see the crosses that I’ve carried, the weights that have pulled me down, the fears, doubts, questions, and struggles I’ve weathered. When God asks you what’s in your hand, he is asking, “What did you not expect to carry into this ‘wild and precious life’?” Maybe it’s the lineage of your family. Maybe it’s the color of your skin. Maybe it’s the place you live or the church you call home or the home you call home. Maybe it’s your age or your gender or your confusion about your age or your gender. Maybe it’s a theology, a truth thing about God that you can’t escape from, no matter how hard you try. Maybe it’s all the things you’ve never done and wanted to do. Maybe it is your empty nest or maybe it’s your full one. What is it? What’s in your hand? What heartbreaking proof do you hold that your life did not go as you planned? ~ Lore Ferguson Wilbert, A Curious Faith: The Questions God Asks Us, We Ask God, and We Wish Someone Would Ask Us
– Yahweh’s calling is stronger than our weakness
– Yahweh’s calling is greater than our failures
