"I am very angry with the nations that feel secure." God to Zechariah, Zechariah 1:15
For such a long time, we have felt secure in our ability and economy and good-old-American can-do and ingenuity and creativity and might. And now we realize that security was a matter of faith, misplaced faith in ourselves rather than the source of all our ability and economy and ingenuity and creativity and might. The LORD God Almighty is His name.
Learned a new name for Christ in this reading: Branch. A name for the Lord I hadn't noted before. I like it. He sounds like a film noir detective sporting a black fedora on a rakish slant. "Boys, this is my muscle, my enforcer, my right-hand man. Meet Branch."
