A PECULIAR PEOPLE
|
Deuteronomy 14:2 talks about God setting
aside a peculiar people for Himself. This is not the type of
scripture that people generally claim for themselves. However,
I think it may be voicing more and more how God has laid claim on my
life. I think I have typically been less concerned with being
like others than the average person. These days, I think it is
growing. At the residential treatment program where I work, we just got the basic cable back on. This meant that we had to reevaluate which channels we were going to allow. I had to tell my staff that I do not have cable and therefore did not know what were cable channels we should ban. More than once the response I got was, You have satellite? It is not that I have a great moral objection to cable. It is more that I can easily fall into watching excessive amounts of television. Adding 20 crystal clear channels would only make matters worse. I have to make a decisive choice to not spend my life watching other people live pretend lives on a box. I fear I look rather peculiar to them at times. At times I find myself growing peculiar even to myself. The other day I began to question myself why I did not watch more football. Then I thought, how can I watch football when I have all this baking to do? Peculiarer and peculiarer. For thou art an holy people
unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth. Deuteronomy 14:2 (edited and posted by Duct Tape Dad's wife because he forgets how to post, bless his heart!) |
