Ascension day... a strange day, when the Disciples come face to face with the glory of Jesus... his true Godliness... and then are left behind, waiting, gazing at the now empty sky! A mixture of awe and abandonment, majesty and mystery...
We'll post our full meditation later.
Psalm 24
God claims Earth and everything in it,
God claims World and all who live on it.
He built it on Ocean foundations, laid it out on River girders.
Who can climb Mount God?
Who can scale the holy north-face?
Only the clean-handed, only the pure-hearted;
Men who won't cheat, women who won't seduce.
God is at their side; with God's help they make it.
This, Jacob, is what happens to God-seekers, God-questers.
Wake up, you sleepyhead city!
Wake up, you sleepyhead people!
King-Glory is ready to enter.
Who is this King-Glory?
God, armed and battle-ready.
Wake up, you sleepyhead city!
Wake up, you sleepyhead people!
King-Glory is ready to enter.
Who is this King-Glory?
God-of-the-Angel-Armies:
he is King-Glory.
