fave verses friday 5

Today on Rev Gal Blog Pals Songbird hosts a fave verses friday 5; here's my play. What, only 5? Only in the interests of time, I'll limit myself to 5 only.

Beginning with one that's on my blog sidebar—this walk alongside the God of the Covenants is no ascetic path but one that fully savors the fruits and passions of creation, yet daily answers the call to love, justice and righteousness:

Jeremiah 22:15-16

"...Did not your father eat and drink
And do justice and righteousness?
Then it was well with him.
He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy;
Then it was well
Is not that what it means to know Me?"
Declares the LORD.

Colossians 1:17—I love the Cosmic Christ!



2 Corinthians 5:18



1 Timothy 4:10



Isaiah 28:17

I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line.
