Saturday May 16 CHANGE

Faith – CHANGE-  LIGHT; seeing constancy in transformation |

While it is hard to find people in the Torah exercising faith the search for faith that brings change can be aborted once Israelite resistance to correction surfaces. The light shining in those ancient circumstances exposes and increases the definition of sin.  The transformation is rare and precious.

Hope – CHANGE-  LIGHT; trusting renewal |

The light and life cycle is reliable and people who are soberly aware of who they are know that better can come.  They know that progress satisfies God and humanity.  Hoping to be different is good.  Hoping for better is better.  When we hope for the best we are in the domain of infinite goodness. Hoping does not make anyone godly, godliness is always a transparent confession away.

Love – CHANGE – LIGHT; embracing adaptability |

Concepts like change are hotwired into revelation.  Correction is necessary for everyone. God’s love includes setting the record straight and forgiving human sin.

Death – CHANGE – LIGHT; becoming Sabbath rest

Sabbath, any sabbath,  is and will always be a sign.  The point at which people participate in sabbath, in a perfect scenario, is where they have and use their creative powers for six days. There is no such week in human history.
