If there's one thing that makes me overwhelmingly excited and juiced off how big God is, it's interconnectedness. I love how He weaves the different parts of our life together so that everything converges into one crazy love song. He just keeps feeding me exactly what I need to hear!
The past few weeks at my on-campus fellowship, we've been doing a sermon series focusing on the biographies of some prominent Christians from history - but not necessarily ones who are known primarily as such. The first was Pascal, and then this past week was Bonhoeffer. So, of course, I laughed out loud when Darrell referenced him this week saying: "the human heart has the capacity for only one all-encompassing, all-embracing allegience." And it carries with it so much more depth and meaning if you've just been told about Bonhoeffer's unswerving allegience to His LORD in the face of Nazi Germany.
And I LOVE the morning star analogy. The worst is over! How encouraging to know that even when the night is still so thick, everything that needs to be done has already been done.
"... the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining!" - 1 John 2:8
"You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness." - 1 Thessalonians 5:5
“I, Jesus (YHWH to the rescue!), have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I AM the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” - Revelation 22:16
Thanks, Abba.
