Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends
of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is
unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the
powerless. Isaiah 40: 28-29
This passage always makes me wonder.First, how often do we forget
that God is always there loving us, waiting for us, being there for us. Do we hear that? Believe it? And second, this passage inevitably makes me ruminate on God's grace. How often do we notice God’s grace? And
how often do we miss it entirely?
Garrison Keillor reflected on this last fall when he
recalled a time when, speeding down a dark, gravel road having been drinking
one night many years ago, he almost hit three boys walking down that country
road. Keillor said, “What should have
happened did not. Had I hit them, this would have been a deep shadow over the
rest of my life. It would have destroyed my life. But it did not, because it
didn't happen. What should have happened did not happen.”
How has God’s grace changed your life?
