spirit-reading ... .

i believe the Bible
is the words of God
they are his idea
... it was his idea

that means that if i have any connection to God
am a christian
and want to have an effect for him
i should be reading his book
his thoughts
his mind

regularly

like it was food
bread even
water
living water
air
breath
spirit

that's one of the places i get life
i go there for life
for growth
for wisdom
for maturity into the very image of Jesus

God wrote it
had it written

and the average person
can surely get much from it
it's written in his language
and for the most part anyway
is readily understandable ...
at one level

but there's another level
a place where the spirit takes over
and my eyes are opened
by the Spirit

that's the place we encounter another wisdom
designed to be spiritually discerned

thus the psalmist's prayer ...
Lord, open my eyes
to gaze on wonderful things in your scriptures ...

that's it
there it is

go there

we have the Spirit
and the Spirit is
the author

so that when i turn my spirit
over to his Spirit
i am in sync
in tune
available to learn
spiritual truths

and that's a privilege
to be at one with God
and have him open his word
to me ....

don't you think?
