Love Greater Than The Garbage Disposal Maker

October 01, 2019

From today’s reading…

Thus says the LORD of hosts:

I am intensely jealous for Zion,

stirred to jealous wrath for her.”

It’s been said that “Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned.”

Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan took 17 years to build the Taj Mahal for his favorite wife after she died giving birth to their 14th child.

(And don’t get me started on the love John W. Hammes, the famous Wisconsin architect, had for his wife when he worked tirelessly to patent the In-Sink-Erator, a.k.a., the garbage disposal, to make her life easier in the kitchen in 1935.)

Now imagine the jealous love God has for us.

Today Zechariah explains how the Lord will “return” and “dwell” in “the faithful city.”

He will “rescue” us and He will rule “with faithfulness and justice.”

All we have to do in order to live in this splendor is…

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.
