9/12/11…Father, I praise You for Your Word and how Your Word nourishes me. I just want to read and study and not be worried by the toil this world requires. Oh how sweet it is to gain knowledge and know the Spirit of Your truth speaks to the depth of my soul.
In Leviticus 26, I come across a passage which speaks of Your soul and I am immediately struck by this. Twice, You say “My soul”. Is the soul within me a tiny sliver of the soul in You? Or is it more of a reflection? I am not sure but I am struck by the fact You make reference to Your soul. Somehow I feel closer to You knowing this. Knowing I may contain even the tiniest sliver of the glory that is You uplifts me. Maybe this is what Christ in me means. A piece of You is in me, even amongst the evilness and selfishness wanting to dominate this human form of mine. My body continually desires things of this world and I continually fight against this. However, the only cure is daily, daily, daily nourishment in You. I can’t go a day without Your word without my soul withering. Truly the Bible is the Holy Spirit’s inspired words of truth pollinating me.
Nothing pollinates my soul like You.
Nothing pollinates my soul like You.
