Daily Lectionary Reading: Psalm 85:8-13 (NRSV, The Message); Amos 3:1-12 (NRSV, The Message); Colossians 4:2-18 (NRSV, The Message)
Thus says the Lord: As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who live in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part of a bed.
Amos 3:12 (NRSV)
Amos 3:12 (NRSV)
I am wondering, after all of this, what will be left of the church? So many of those who claim the name of Christ have followed a path of fear, scarcity, vengeance, self-protection and anger.
God promises and history reveals that there will always be something left, "a corner of a couch and part of a bed," hurting and misshapen, but continuing to follow, continuing to live into the dream of God. That is where I want to be.
