I used to peck and claw at strings and straw hoping to find sustenance
All the while knowing that truth lay in a book on a table in my living room
Every time I open it, I am filled another day
That is the nature of satisfaction
It may take effort but is only found when we reach for the right source
Thankfully, that source reaches for us too
That, in itself, is enough reason to keep going and to be grateful
I am profoundly grateful!
There’s something about the promise in a morning. A new day peaks over the mountains that stood, ominous, dark, hours before. There’s opportunity inherent there. There’s hope that maybe today will bring with it all the things we’ve been searching for.
That’s why I’m making a diligent choice to sit for a moment, still, with coffee in one hand, treasure map in the other
seeking.
I may not know what adventure awaits me today but I know the means of survival are right here in my grasp, the living word of God, breathing before me
leading me.
It’s wisdom better than gold or rubies making me better.
Proverbs 8:10-11 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold; For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.”
Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
