gorging at the top

Tuesday March 1st, Isaiah 49: 13 Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. For those who are truly suffering this is the word of grace. For those who for the first time are having to share it might not sound like such good news. News wire just in, Gadhafi is falling and may have fled to Venezuela, military defecting. For those who have lived under a dictatorship this is good news. For those who want stability, not so good. Stability in this case being a small group with all the power and wealth, and most others groveling for a piece of the pie. In God’s world, everyone gets a piece of the pie, and along with it the steak and potatoes and a big salad and lots of soup and hummus. God’s world view is abundance for all, most of humanities and the tea parties view is a few gorging at the top and the rest groveling at the bottom.
