5 Days From God's Message for Each Day

DAY 5 OF 5

LIVING GOD-WARDS

One of the first things that strikes us about the men and women in Scripture is that they were disappointingly nonheroic. . . Abraham lied; Jacob cheated; Moses murdered and complained; David committed adultery; Peter blasphemed. . .

[Yet] the persons we meet on the pages of Scripture are remarkable for the intensity with which they live God-wards, the thoroughness in which all the details of their lives are included in God’s word to them, in God’s action in them. It is these persons, who are conscious of participating in what God is saying and doing, who are most human, most alive.
