The author of our devotional refers to the Israelites in Isaiah being paralyzed with fear. Then she writes, "But God intervenes...". This direct intervention by God is a mystery. Yet, I am reminded of the sermon in Gina's post on December 9 that speaks of the powerful experience of grace. It seems that this is an example of God's direct intervention. It will probably remain a mystery, but I am grateful for her sharing of Tillich's message.
I wonder how many times God has mysteriously intervened on our behalf even as we have been unaware. I often like tidy answers that tie up all the loose ends, but sometimes the mysteries of God are just awe-inspiring!
