“The High Way”
We are taught that everything costs. But our ways are not God’s ways. We are all invited, without price, to the abundance of God’s grace. This is the higher way that we are invited to embody for the sake of the world. The “rich food” that we are invited to partake in the richness of life when all have enough not simply to survive, but to thrive. Hospitality is the way; even though we do not agree on everything, we are still one family at one table.
“Our steps are made firm by the Lord when God delights in our way; though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds us by the hand. I have been young and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are ever giving liberally and lending, and their children become a blessing. Depart from evil and do good; so you shall abide forever.”
Excerpts from Psalm 37:23-34
Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price….For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Excerpts from Isaiah 55:1-9
