God’s dream of joy for us and for the earth

Morning: Psalms 66, 67; Hosea 2:2-14; James 3:1-13

Evening: Psalms 19, 46; Matthew 13:44-52

The Bible is the story of God’s desire for the earth. Clearly, all is not entirely rosy just yet. But there is enough goodness in the Creation for us to catch glimpses of God’s dream. Jesus helps us to realize the joy we will experience when things are the way God intends them to be (the ‘Kingdom of God’) ... It will be like finding treasure, or like a merchant who finds the most amazing and precious pearl, or a fisherman whose net is full of fish. Beyond our present troubles, God is bringing joy.
