surely they will do good

Sunday December 26th, Isaiah 63: 7 I will tell about the kind deeds the LORD has done. They deserve praise! The LORD has shown mercy to the people of Israel; he has been kind and good. 8 The LORD rescued his people, and said, they are mine, they won't betray me." This is an interesting first lesson to the story of Herod’s slaughter of the innocent children while looking for the baby Jesus. God created the world and called it good. God created humanity and called it good. The temptation in the garden was to be like god. Our sin is to react to that small spark that is within us and in some small demonic way act on our desire to be our own little god. Within us is also the spark that God called good. It is the spark that can draw us forward in spite of the troubles and turmoil’s in the world. It is the spark that gives the world hope through the presence of God within each and every one of us. This season and into the New Year, live a life that fans into flame that spark within you that God saw in creation and called good.
