The Reconciling Force
“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.” Proverbs 11:1
Some time ago I heard the phrase “three is a reconciling force.” I thought of the Trinity, DNA, politics, table stool legs, and time. Yahweh loves a just weight. He delights in balance. He appreciates what was, what is, and what is to come.
Even though it feels abstract, I believe that Yahweh is interested in us asking about concepts like this and will give us opportunities to experience them in our daily lives. Sam Shoaff recently shared about how the Trinity or Three-in-One concept is hard to grasp, but if we consider marriage, we begin to see how two can be one, and it helps us learn something by the spirit.
Today, I invite you to practice balance and being part of a reconciling force. If there’s a present conflict, are you able to keep your head in the moment, still consider hope for the future, and acknowledge the history behind it? Is there a place that you are stuck in a pattern? Today, reach for the third strand, reach for Yahweh’s reconciling force to inspire you, humble you, and encourage you into where you need to go. Let’s ask Him to teach us something today, in a way that we can understand and apply. He is new every day, and He has a new answer and new grace, all for you. In fact, YOU may be the reconciling force in someone else’s life today!
