The whole community wailed all night long. What!?! Two million people wailing for the sake of food. A collective cry. All but two: Joshua and Caleb. I look around every day and hear the ways people talk to each other, talk about others, talk to themselves. Where are the Joshua's and Caleb's. If it is true that God is on our side, and it is true, then what does Josh and Caleb know that we don't know in our hearts. Two million people "missed" the grace of God. forgot what they just read.- You shall die if you defile God's tabernacle. He is a Holy God. Serious Business of Heaven. And we are no longer under law. We live under grace.
Yes! Ezekiel 27 - Dry Bones can be made alive in this new covenant. Dry bones crossed this ocean, walked its floor. And most of them never really came to life, did they?
Fast Forwars to our dry bones. God crushed this curse into which we were born. We can love and live alive to God and dead to sin. We are slaves to righteousness not sin. Either moving toward God or away from Him. CS Lewis in The Weight of Glory calls it: immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.
This debt of ours is paid. We defile the Tabernacle we live in every day. WAll the frays of our heart are covered with a Blanket of Grace.
COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Father, make what is dead in our lives come alive. For Your Glory. May we name the sin, name what we are doing to defile these lives of ours. Thank You for the fresh brand-spanking-new Blanket of Grace over us this day, this circumstance.
