We are too much the subject of our preaching and talking in the church. God is the protagonist of our story not us. By the grace of God, you and I have been swept up in the truth of God. And, the most true thing about God is that “God is love!” You and I are the inheritors and the beneficiaries of something we couldn’t earn or deserve if we tried. To take that in at any real depth drives the heart up in adoration and the head down in humility. Like baby Moses we have been set out on a river in a basket, only both the river and the basket are God. So then, any religion or spiritual practice that does not place God at its center is not only a lie, it’s also ritualized narcissism, nothing more! Our great privilege is to be invited to accompany God as God does God’s thing, and to “recount to generations to come the praiseworthy deeds and the power of the Lord and the wonderful works God has done.”
