Over The Shoulder 11/19
Over The Shoulder
God, you've done it all! Who is quite like you? You, who made me stare trouble in the face, Turn me around; Now let me look life in the face. (Psalm 71:20 MSG).
Mess and discord scrape hard the call where worldly bandages seem nothing but vexed. “ For He has torn, but He will heal” Hosea 6:1 tells us, yet we bemoan all the wild, or so it seems...Consequence is grunt for those The Cloud Rider calls back and back again. Our faces get oh so dirty, but great is the One whose heavenly bandages dress our wounds. It is only by that accord that we fully become cleansed; that we may rise up, whether it be in the morning, in a church, or on the third day. Life in the face is pursuance of the Lord; to know Him, to grow Him even in the midst of trouble and calamity. As rain comes early and comes late, the prophet Hosea goes on, we shall find Him. We shall find Him no matter how drenched we are or become because God has done it all! No one else can or ever will do it all; it’s impossible. The point is that because He’s been there and took our place, we don’t have to. The call we cannot regret then, is the call to repentance, so that I may be cast about face, 180 degrees, looking life in the face anew and anew and anew, shedding what was prior to the return in order to receive the glorious burn.
Yes and Amen.
