I shared some reflections a few weeks ago. Although I've been a Bible learner and disciple of Christ for many years, I do not yet have this walk figured out. It's filled with missteps and mistakes, and even when I re-read some of my prior posts, I can see how I could have represented the truth more fully and adequately. It is humbling to know that God still brings truth even in our tiny bit of understanding.
Today, we start a Bible study I've refused to write for months. It is a chapter out of my dark soul and a testament to the bright communion God showed me over a long, swarthy night. I know I need to sit still and get some of the messy, messy work God has graciously done down on paper. I dread it and welcome it all in one.
Father, as I search these Scriptures and allow this love song to be sung over me, I pray that you would banish my blindness. You lavished me with love through the death and resurrection of Your Son, yet I still look to the idols of this world for satisfaction. Let me gasp for Your holy breath and desire You above all. Let me burn for your peace. Amen.
