To myself I am only a child playing on the beach,
while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

Hide-and-Seek

Bible in a Year: Esther 6–8; Acts 6

But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:9 “He’s going to find me,” I thought. I felt my little heart pound faster as I heard my five-year-old cousin’s footsteps around the corner. He was coming closer. Five steps away. Three. Two. “Found you!”

Hide-and-seek. Most have fond memories of playing the game as children. Yet sometimes in life the fear of being found isn’t fun but is rooted in a deep instinct to flee. People may dislike what they see.

As children of a fallen world, we’re prone to play what a friend of mine labels, “a mixed-up game of hide-and-seek” between God and us. It’s more like a game of pretending to hide—because either way, He sees all the way through to our messy thoughts and wrong choices. We know it, though we like to pretend He can’t really see.

Yet God continues to seek. “Come out,” He calls to us. “I want to see you, even your most shameful parts”—an echo of the same voice that called to the first human who hid out of fear: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). Such a warm invitation voiced in the form of a piercing question. “Come out of hiding, dear child, and come back into relationship with Me.”

It may seem far too risky, preposterous even. But there, within the safe confines of our Father’s care, any of us, no matter what we’ve done or failed to do, can be fully known and loved.

By Jeff Olson

Reflect & Pray

How is it comforting to know that God sees you and yet still longs for you to come to Him? How is that knowledge freeing?

The One who fully knows us unconditionally loves us.

I hope you keep power in the storm!
One street in my neighborhood lost power very early Thursday morning during a severe thunderstorm and only gets it back today. I am grateful our street escaped!

Thank you, MEG! It’s very dark right now. Mr. trisham is on a golf course a bit north of here. That worries me.

Losing power is difficult at any time of year. We’re on a well, so if we lose power, we won’t have running water, but as long as we’re safe, we’ll be fine. Fortunately, we’re experienced at camping, which helps. :)

Thanks, LUV W! Most of it has gone south, with just a little red patch coming through.

The Lord Rejoices

Bible in a Year: Esther 9–10; Acts 7:1–21

[God] will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

My grandmother recently sent me a folder full of old photographs, and as I thumbed through them, one caught my eye. In it, I’m two years old, and I’m sitting on one end of a hearth in front of a fireplace. On the other end, my dad has his arm around my mom’s shoulders. Both are gazing at me with expressions of love and delight.

I pinned this photo to my dresser, where I see it every morning. It’s a wonderful reminder of their love for me. The truth is, though, that even the love of good parents is imperfect. I saved this photo because it reminds me that although human love may fail sometimes, God’s love never fails—and according to Scripture, God looks at me the way my parents are looking at me in this picture.

The prophet Zephaniah described this love in a way that astounds me. He describes God as rejoicing over His people with singing. God’s people had not earned this love. They had failed to obey Him or to treat each other with compassion. But Zephaniah promised that in the end, God’s love would prevail over their failures. God would take away their punishment (Zephaniah 3:15), and He would rejoice over them (v. 17). He would gather His people into His arms, bring them home, and restore them (v. 20).

That’s a love worth reflecting on every morning.

By Amy Peterson

Reflect & Pray

How does it make you feel that God rejoices over you with singing? How have you experienced His love?

God, thank You for Your forgiveness and faithful love for us.

Blessings on this Summer Sunday








“You are like light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16)

God Bless America!

Hallelujah and Amen
