As we read today a picture emerges of God and man looking at one another. While we don't understand God very well, he understands us perfectly. We see that God's will is for the good of his people. And the good of his people is primarily to believe he is the one who created and who sustains the world in his mercy and love. Therefore we see Paul's charges to Timothy, that he should pass the good news of Christ's kingdom to other people. For that reason also we see that we present ourselves to God as those who are faithful before him. Other things which we do, making ourselves presentable to our society are all right, but they are secondary. We look to God's loving approval, not to man's love. Mankind is fickle. God never changes in his mercy and grace.
Let us look to our Lord. He's already watching us.
