on the heels of ADONAI
“The voice of him who cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the ADONAI, make straight a highway in the desert for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mounatin and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made level, and the rough places smooth; and the glory of the ADONAI shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the ADONAI has spoken.” Isaiah 40:3-5
Before heading to church with Jessi this morning, I read this chapter from Isaiah. It is a really remarkable testament to the ‘bigness’ of God- His absolutely incomprehensible otherness and sovereignty. These are some of my favorite verses from it. So often, we humans, and Christians in particular, want the comfortable, kind face of God without having to look into His fearsome, terribly majestic eyes. I am trying lately not to trivialize the God of the universe within the recesses of my prideful heart. It is true when they say of the Christian condition, “God dwells within us,” what is false is when we forget that it is within Him that “we live and move, and have our being.” The God That Is… is frighteningly, colossally loving.
On a seemingly different note, Jess and I headed to Sam’s Sushi after the worship service and proceeded to gorge ourselves on delicious eel and salmon rolls and a huge vat of Sam’s fish and dumpling soup. Massive ammounts of goodness for a mere 10 bucks- highly reccomended.
