REVELATION 22:6

The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true.  The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

TO PONDER

Im struggling with this verse, but sinking into it, and second day in I’m honing in on “These words are trustworthy and true.”  So that is what I will go with.  Might be on the wrong track, but…. God will redeem it for your heart. 

Im thinking about how we read the Bible.   God is calling us to trust the truth of his word when we read it, to trust the word we hear from the Spirit on meditating on that word, to participate in and trust the word we hear from God in prayer, to accept the word we hear in quiet silence and solitude before God.  

God is also calling us to trust in his Word, the living Word Jesus, who was born like us, who lived and loved like us, who cried and suffered like us, who laughed and sang like us, and who stepped into death as we will. 

The word is relational, it’s a living breathing part of God’s way of connecting with us.  It’s a tangible way to connect with the intangible.  A stepping stone into the waters of the Holy Spirit.  A way home.  

PRAYER

Father, continue to draw us deeper into relationship with you, pull us into your word and your son Jesus, our Saviour.  Amen
