I'm reading / reviewing a book put out by the Independent Truck Company, called Built to Grind. It's a 25-year history of the renegade skateboard truck company and all the rad riding that's taken place in that time. It's fun reviewing books like this.
In reviewing a little Scripture today, I want to rate God's actions, on a one-to-ten scale...
Ha ha. Just kidding. But, in reading a little Scripture today, (Deuteronomy chapter 7, to be exact) it was fascinating to see God's plan for Israel to take things little by little. Reminds me of how I've got to get back in shape. I can't expect to lose all the weight I need to immediately, but if I stay faithful and take little steps to achieve small goals, along the way I'll accomplish big things.
Also sticking out in this chapter is God's faithful love to His people.
"The Lord did no set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath He swore to your forefathers that He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you fromt he land of slavery..."
Isn't it cool to think of the Lord setting His affection on us? I think so.
