Bible Marginalia- Worship into the Week

Bible Marginalia Series- #178

The readings in worship this past Sunday

 included this section of Ezekiel 34.

 It had been the reference 

for a Pastor's installation last year

 and then this week I revisited the text.

God's text message to me.

When I look at the verbs- 

it is simply stunning to see 

the work order that 

the LORD vows to do.

He says- I will:

Search and Seek

Rescue and Bring

Feed and Bring back

Bind up and Strengthen

Destroy and Judge

So my worship into the week 

has been to contemplate and pray

 over these verses.

To let the Word of God meet me in all the places

 He desires His Word to become part of my life.

A simple practice to

extend worship time

into the days and the hours of the week.

And when I try to take back 

the ownership of "making things Happen"- 

let me be reminded that it is THE LORD 

who begins, continues and brings to completion.

What a GIFT of grace that is to me.
