God’s Labor

Dear Glen Mar,
It’s Labor Day weekend! It has me thinking about “God at work.”: “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.” (Gen. 1:31). I like picturing God in a yellow hardhat, construction plans in hand, with a ruler, a “plumb line” (see the Book of Amos), a pencil behind the Divine Ear. I see a twinkle in God’s eye, and a concentrated look, that feeling of flow, where time stops. I hear God whistling softly, sanding sharp corners and making angles true.

Dear Glen Mar,
This weekend we will conclude our Summer Family Worship Series, “The Journey,” and I’ll be preaching on “Oh the Places You’ll Go.” I hope you’ll join us in person (masked) or online, to receive a blessing. We’ll be praying especially for our students returning to school next week (so have backpacks at the ready, at home or in worship, with your students, so that we can bless and encourage them). Teachers, Administrators, we’ll be praying for you too!
