| “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.” |
| —Isaiah 33:22 |
Do you play different roles in the different aspects of your life? You probably do. You may be daughter, wife, mother, business leader, Sunday School teacher, Girl Scout leader, and many, many other roles. You may be son, husband, father, auto mechanic, church Trustee Board member, Boy Scout leader, fantasy football league manager, and many other roles. Almost every person—man or woman, married or single, employed, looking for work, or retired—has numerous roles he or she must play in his or her life.
As we fulfill the responsibilities of each of our roles, we do so with as much competence as our talents and abilities and our level of commitment to the task at hand permits. Some of the roles we play we enjoy immensely and devote the appropriate amount of time to that role. Other roles may not provide as much enjoyment for us and we budget our time accordingly.
Fortunately, God, who loves us with His everlasting love, has an unlimited depth of commitment to us His dear children. In the many roles He plays in our lives He always gives His all. That secures for us the very best of His mercy, grace, and love.
The Prophet Isaiah declared the level of God’s devotion to us when he wrote these words in Isaiah 33:22:
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.
We should begin this day with great thanksgiving for the many roles that God plays in our lives. We live and move and have our being at His good pleasure. He has chosen us to belong to Himself. And, He continually works in our lives to sustain us—particularly as we go forth each day as His ambassadors into a troubled and needy world.
