The other day, just after the 2021 election, my head was in my hands, I feared, I had dread, hope was dim. As I laced my sneakers for a bike ride, (head down) a verse came into my soul or head; it was clear, “Said I not to you that if you would believe, you would see the glory of God.” It was Jesus talking to Martha after her brother died.
I went on my
usual bike route and felt hope. Since
that day, as I have kept my heart and eyes open, several more “words” from the
Bible have either jumped off the page as Eric and I read every morning, or a
Word in the form of a verse comes into my head.
My attempt
to encourage you is here: The Word is Jesus, and Jesus is the Word. “And the Word was made flesh and dwelled
among us...” John 1:14.
Once again
as I woke this morning my cell phone had two verses waiting for me. “For I know
the thoughts that I think toward you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not
of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11
The other, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all liberally…” James 1:5.
“But exhort one another daily…“ we read this morning…living and
expecting The Word, who is Jesus, to speak to us.
