Embarrassing God

I was thinking: It is not easy to embarrass God. We spend a lot of effort being embarrassed for God. It is an idle pursuit.

Instead we do well to explain God, to proclaim the Good News of God's salvation for all mankind. God has prepared a way for all men to be saved.

Isaiah 35:1-10 speaks of a highway God builds above the fray. It's a poetical image. I love it as an image of salvation God prepares for us to walk in.

Some feel they do not need saving. Some think it is beneath them. Some do not want to contemplate a lifestyle change. Perhaps they do not want to give up some wicked thing, they know it is wicked, but they like it. (As if God could be embarrassed by it.)

Gd has prepared a highway for us to walk on. The righteous, the redeemed, the ransomed of the Lord, they will walk on it.

I hear we did not walk off the cliff last night. But we are putting off the inevitable. Perhaps the Mayas were not far off. *smile*
