A Good Life.

“If God doesn’t guard the city, the night watchman might as well nap.” -Psalm 127

Ecclesiastes 8:12-13 echoes this: “Even though a person sins and gets by with it hundreds of times throughout a long life, I’m still convinced that the good life is reserved for the person who fears God, who lives reverently in his presence, and that the evil person will not experience a “good” life. No matter how many days he lives, they’ll all be as flat and colorless as a shadow - because he doesn’t fear God.”

We have been given the gift of Life. Life breathed into us by Love itself. Love complete, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present. We have also been given access to a new Spirit, a Spirit that cares more for Love than for self. So now we can choose, we can live in the shadow, or we can live in Love. We can let God guard our city, trusting that as we let our roots grow deep in this love, letting go of self and our own understanding, we will learn what Good truly means.

1 John 4:8 God is Love.
