How much do we sacrifice for lack of knowledge of the word?
Our God is small because we do not know Him.
Our church is broken because we do not understand Him.
Our identity is a lie for lack of a mirror.
Our joy sleeps because it forgets how to sing.
Our faith quivers at the gentlest cut; because we dismiss the witnesses.
Our wings crack under the scorch of sin, forgetting ten thousand generations of history.
Our life is a dark and shadowy reflection of Christ; because we do not know His heart.
Psalm 19:7-11
The Law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.
Do not leave reward and blessing and courage and hope and power and forgiveness and love and unity and life on the table, when this virtue and freedom is available for a moment of our time and a quietness in our heart. Open the Bible.
