CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We finished reading through the old testament this year, and something that really stood out to me is how unflattering the book is toward the Israelites. They are the most faithless bunch of people. It is especially a stark contrast to other texts of the era which mostly puffed up the origins of the people who wrote it. Especially look at the Babylonian epics which basically make the claim that their kings are literal descendants of gods (same with the Egyptians). In the Hebrew scriptures, we mostly see a bunch of screwups. And as odd as it is, it seems more sincere. I see myself in the story of the Israelites. I have some bright moments, but for the most part, I’m not that faithful. It reminds me that the story of the Bible isn’t really about all the human characters’ lack of faith. It’s about God’s faithfulness in spite of humanity’s faithlessness. God does call us to faithfulness. But He also equips us with the faithfulness of Christ and empowers us by His own spirit. F3 encourages us to do hard things. Perhaps the hardest thing is to humble ourselves before God and accept His free gift. Accept that He loves us, and then to respond in faith, being fully convinced that He is able and willing to transform our lives into a faithful witness to His great love for all mankind.
