More than reading


I am realizing there is so much more to READING my bible.   I am realizing…

 

The deeper I DIVE into your word,

The more I realize how shallow I am swimming.

 

The deeper I dive in this sea of truth,

The more I SEE it’s the surface I’m skimming.

 

I am so eager.  I am so hungry.

I will SEARCH for you all night.

 

I will take a shovel to this word.

I will DIG with all my might.

 

I cannot find the answer.

I ADMIT I cannot see.

I HEAR, “My grace is sufficient.”

and the words, “Follow me”.

 

You lead me on a different course.

I FOLLOW you in a new direction.

 

You humble my spirit, my heart, and my mind.

I RECIEVE my correction.

 

I BEGIN placing pieces together.

I TOUCH a new dimension.

I TRY to follow your lead in our dance.

I FEEL your love cut through my tension.

 

You guide me to a promise.

I FIND the reward for my quest.

 

I STORE it deep within my heart.

I close your word and REST.
