What do I desire?
(Oh, well. Less than a week in and already behind. Such is a busy life. Still...a reflection on pray-as-you-go podcast for 12/7/2006):
How much do I really desire justice? The idea of our man-made hierarchies and status being flung in the dust sounds good, because I know how unjust those levels really are. While I am not in danger of needed the services of “wealth preservation” experts nor of having power to change the nation’s political structures, I am relatively high up in the citadel. It is humbling to know that God cares not a bit for prestige, degrees, accomplishment or wealth, but desires a safe place for all God’s people.
