Podcast 56.2 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
Take my hands and let them move
Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:11 ESV
There is no shortage of things into which we can engage our hands, and many will leave us feeling like wise Solomon. Wiser still is the one who determines to offer their hands to God for His purposes. Will you offer your hands to God and His purposes today?
At the impulse of Thy love
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments…” John 14:15 ESV
Guided by His love and our response of love. What does that look like? It may very closely resemble the hands that toil like Solomon’s but there is no vanity in the work of hands consecrated to God’s way of love. Commit your hands to move as His love directs.
Take my feet and let them be
You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip. Psalm 18:36 ESV
God wants to direct our steps so our story can echo this scripture, but that can only happen as we look to Him to direct us. That direction will lead us to places like that described here as contrasted to narrow places where our feet may slip. Will you let Him direct your feet?
Swift and beautiful for Thee
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” Isaiah 52:7 ESV
If you allow Him to direct you He will make your feet beautiful. Beautiful not as much in form as in function. When you bring good news, peace, happiness and salvation to those who lack it your feet are beautiful indeed. Will you be swift about offering your feet to walk His path?
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
