This is another example of how transliteration can change (slightly or greatly) our understanding of God’s communication with us.

It also fits in directly with our times, which isn’t a surprise. But, so many people do not actually understand (based on observations) that His Word to us is for today. Everything that occurs has a connected communication for us.

It’s interesting that in the latter part of my career, I was assigned to lead the committee for annual civilian awards. I was well versed on most positions and often had submissions for ‘rewards’ that used the work they contractually received ‘wages’ for as justification. I tried for years (unsuccessfully) to have the position description included in the award submission package. So many truly do want to be (additionally) rewarded for doing what we receive (contracted) wages for. Pretty much the description of fraud. I was pretty vocal and my committee actually did make good decisions by knowing the jobs. It was another lesson in our fallen human nature. Likewise, the couple of times I won, I didn’t believe that I had done what my bosses included. Truly a lesson in humility…one of many God’s sent (along with patience).

It’s very satisfying to know God has given worth to His creation, but only from a humbling point of view since we know the sacrifice and payment made to regain the worth in God’s eye. What a gift! What a gift your work is to me! Thank you!
