The Color Of Blue

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Numbers 15:37-41

Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments . . . and to put a blue thread in the tassels. —Numbers 15:38

The children of Israel were to make tassels on the corners of their garments with “a blue thread in the tassels” (Numbers 15:38). The tassels reminded them to “do all My commandments, and be holy for your God” (v.40). The blue thread—the color of the heavens above—spoke of His immeasurable power and saving grace.

We still need reminders today. In the fuss and frenzy of our busy lives, we easily forget God and His passion for us. We forget that He lives within and around us and loves us with eternal affection. It helps to have something to signify His presence. Blue can be one of those signs.

“The first step is to remember,” says Aslan in C. S. Lewis’ The Silver Chair. Aslan, a figure of Christ, tells Jill to “remember the signs” he has given her.

If you learn God’s signs—like the significance of the color blue—it will be easier to remember God’s love. Blue can remind you of the invisible realm above and all around, unseen and yet as real as anything you can see. A mountain lake, a glacial crevasse, an alpine forget-me-not, a cerulean sky—all remind us of heaven and God’s unfathomable love.

When you see blue, think of God’s love, and especially His love for you. —David H. Roper

This is my Father’s world!
He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass—
He speaks to me everywhere.  —Babcock

Daily blessings are daily reminders of God.

Oh that JH2 could have broad exposure to the vast numbers of American voters. Another of his greatest, to add to the growing file of greatest perspectives on American politics.

[Aquamarine]

This is so funny and you picked the perfect cartoons to illustrate with Dolly. I laughed outloud at the comparison between our politicians and Marie Antoinette and her man. Next thing we'll see is the politicians having all the lamp posts in DC removed because they're becoming a hazard.

[Wheelbarrow]

John is essentially correct except he left out the Constitutional note that members of Congress are also protected from arrest while en route to/from their home (including districts). An interesting note that has, on occasion, been applied in the past.

[DollyCali]

Oh that JH2 could have broad exposure to the vast numbers of American voters ah, that any of the TRUTH could have broad exposure...

sigh

thanks for stopping by!

[DollyCali]

[DollyCali]

so I wonder if this protects them from DUI (like a certain member of the Kennedy family?)

[Aquamarine]
