Marinated


Deuteronomy 16-19

Feasts and landmarks, celebrations and preachers, justice and punishment, refuges and testimonies, kings and The Prophet, it’s all in there today.  You know the difference between America and the Bible?  America regulates God to Sunday, but the Bible regulates the day-to-day grind and glory of our lives.  It’s the great marinade for life, soaking us in the every day moment by moment care of God’s love for us. 

It’s a bitter cold morning.  I was looking out the window and saw a robin using her beak to turn over leaves that had blown in around my rose bush.  Why would a robin be out in the freezing cold?  She’s hungry.  What a great metaphor for the leaves of the Bible.  How hungry are you?
