Righteousness does not mean God averts His
Eyes from an ugly reality
And pretends that what is true is a
Lie to be ignored.
It means a new Power has
Taken over the operations of
Your heart.

You don’t have
Enough time to sit
And wait for the dough to
Swell when you’re quitting slavery and
Taking the wealth.
The Blessed Curse {gn49:7}
The sobering fact of life is that our
descendants usually bear their share
of our decisions—either good or bad.
Levi couldn't bend his temper to his
will, and his curse was to
be doled out to his children—who would be
scattered, without a land inheritance,
among their relatives. But
the curse turned into a blessing for the entire
nation, as the Levites became the radiated advocates
of God. They inherited the heart-land of
Israel, permanent tillers of her spiritual soil.
He Saw {gn29:31}
The much-invisible and
quickly-forgotten
Lord of heaven and earth
is often like a Mama
Bear who
saw her cubs being
mistreated and went
to war. The fierceness
of the pain
that pierced God's heart
when he saw his
precious
Leah discarded, unwanted,
was surpassed only by
his resolve to
not let abandonment be
her habitat, to prove
that there was Someone
who
loved her more than life itself.
Righteousness By Faith {gn15:6}

Abram was regarded as perfect because he
believed what God had said. He trusted in
the unbelievable promises the
Lord had made to him,
and he was set right with God
that very moment. The Creator who
made us wants only this: for us to know
him and to trust that he will always do
right by us. If we have that sort of friendship
with him, there's nothing our miracle-working
God can't accomplish in us.

Of humanity's river.
