Source: Walter BrueggemannShort49 words
"Delighting in Yahweh reorders our desires—away from empire's promises of security through accumulation, away from anxiety-driven grasping. When we delight in the God of justice, we desire justice. When we delight in the God of the poor, we desire solidarity. Delight shapes desire." — Walter Brueggemann. Progressive: justice desires.
