Exodus 15:18 tells us, "The people you rescued were led by your powerful love to your Holy Place." These words describe what happened to the Israelites during that holy time, and it tells us what it was that led them to a more Holy place--God's powerful love.
"Led out of Egypt into the land of Israel, the people came to know God's love. But what is it today that has come declaring our need for rescuing? And to what Holy Place are we being rescued? Is it our selves that are unholy? Our world? Our attitudes? And how must we be rescued?
"First of all we have Jesus' powerful love to help us to be Holy and the Red Sea does not need to split in two parts to show us a way to rescue. The powerful love of Christ and Christ's Way is all the rescue we need, whether we are finding our way to a more holy place from despair, disease, disappointments, disillusion or disdain. Christ's Way is the Way, the way of Love.
"Lord God, you have set us free to find our Lord Christ and follow Him to a more Holy place in our lives. Help us to not stray away from your Way, as you have shown us, and help us to become more and more of the loving, caring persons we desire to be without judgment or demands. You who are Holy, help us to help others find their own Holy Place--in You. Amen."
On a snowy day in January in a new year, on a new day, in a rich moment of time, we come to You, together. Amen.
