I lie down with lions that greedily devour human prey; their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords. - Here you are, trusting in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, “We are safe!”—only to go on doing all these abominations? Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your sight? You know, I too am watching, says the Lord. - Our world is “a dark place” of fear, anxiety, greed, and violence. The prophetic light exposes such destructive practices and requires us to consider both the ideological rootage of our practices and their concrete outcomes from which we often benefit. - Today’s breath prayer: have/mercy - Image from Bill Rock. Words from Psalm 57, Jeremiah 7, and Walter Brueggemann #fromthecollection #billrock #billrockart #psalm57 #jeremiah7 #walterbrueggemann #propheticlight #breathprayer #artasprayer #portiunculaguild
