For a while now, there has been a distinct trend to the first post on Gen Chat being scripture. It feels like a curious outcome of the kerfuffle that arose (and the ensuing month of mayhem and frivolity) after a random interloper dropped in on gen chat and expressed their disappointment at the lack of discussion, some 23 minutes AFTER gen chat was posted for the day.
For a month, pedes were striving and competing to be the first to post, to post their mock disappointment at the lack of discussion, etc. Somehow, this evolved into being first in, but instead of posting a mock disappointment, posting some scripture at the start. It's gradually become a great tradition, and thanks to all who do this.
While not the first in, I'd still like to share what is for me one of the most profound scriptures, which in my mind points all believers to the realization that our understanding is and has been limited, and God, in his mercy and grace, still has a promise for us: The best is yet to come.
1 Cor 13:12
Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
