ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
December 10, 2020

Scripture
: Isaiah 61:10
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Thought for the Day: It is one thing to offer up a few words of praise and something very different to exult God with one’s whole being. The Hebrew word we translate as exult is thought to have connection to an Arabic word that means to spin or move around in a circle. It sounds a little like dancing to me. And that makes sense as the Prophet draws upon wedding imagery, a wedding where there would have been dancing as a way of celebrating love. We can rejoice and show our gratitude quietly and without any movement, but I find there are times when I am so awestruck by the scale and beauty of God’s grace that sitting still is not an option. In this holy season of the year, there is much to give movement to our gratitude.

Prayer: With my heart and voice, with my hands and feet, I will express my gratitude and joy to you, My Maker and My Redeemer. Amen.
