Everything today feels personalized. Social media feeds are curated. We pick the news that best fits our outlook on the world. It's interesting to hear people talk about 'my truth' and 'your truth' -- even the truth is personalized!
So it's quite something to read this tale of people who are making a communal pledge -- it's not individual at all. They join together to commit to walking in God's law. It's startling to the modern ear, and yet I find it refreshing. They hold themselves accountable, and they acknowledge that the depend on one another. It's about we and us.
Who do you have in your life to help you keep the promises you've made to God and to one another? What kind of community are you planted in? If not, how can you start to build a community, so that you're not trying to do this on your own?
