"It was not with our fathers that the Lord made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today." (Deuteronomy 5:3)
At times it seems easy to consign God's greatness to a bygone epoch. Then it feels natural to look upon God's actions and God's promises as finished works, like ornately-framed portraits hanging in an art museum.
As Moses reminds the Israeli people of God's covenant with "all of us who are alive here today," his words encourage me, too. God is God of the living covenant. God is God of works in progress. God is God of continually fulfilling promises.
How may you and I see God's aliveness today?
