Now is the time we have to prepare for eternity.
From the start, the living God is the Saviour of those who put their trust in Him.
So that is the community in which we stand in the presence of God.
From the book of COMMON PRAYER , Psalm 17:7
Shew thy marvelous loving kindness,
thou art the Saviour of them that put their trust in thee:
from such as resist thy right hand.
We must definitely NOT stand in the crowd who resist God's right hand.
Those of us who believe that God's will
is the most beneficial thing for everyone,
seek constantly to be in harmony with God's purposes,
socially, morally, politically, and one in the Spirit spiritually
Psalm 17:3a
Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night season;
The psalmist has nightly meditated on the word of God !
not just in an academic way, but in a way which has allowed himself
to respond to God's presence and prompting
during , and after, his contemplation.
These benefits leak into our everyday lives,
Just as the mercy which poured from the wounds of Christ
still swirls around us
.We seek and need the grace of God.
Psalm 17:5
O hold thou up my goings in thy paths:
that my footsteps slip not.
The power of God is the effective influence in the person of the believer
and in the circumstances in the community of hope
in which the purposes of God are being fulfilled.
We often joke that life's challenges are character building.
But our personal experience of the working out of His truth....
marching on in our society and in ourselves
is what fills our heart and mind with Trinitarian love and awareness.
Such love puts things in perspective !
It is not only that God is the source of love,
but that all his intentions and activity are loving and wise,
1 JOHN 4 : 7-13 + 17 RSV
Beloved , let us love one another; for love is of God,
and he who loves is born of God and knows God.
He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us,
that God sent his only Son into the world so that
we might live through him. In this is love,
not that we loved God but that he loved us
and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love
one another. No man has ever seen God;
if we love one another, God abides in us and love is perfected in us.
By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because
he has given us his own spirit.
17 In this is love perfected in us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgement,
because as he is so are we in this world. !!!
May trinitarian love and awareness prepare us for the next world.
