Judges 7:1-25; Isaiah 28:1-29; 1 Corinthians 7:1-40
Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law. Psalm 119:18 NKJV
Francis Bacon wrote, “The job of the artist is to deepen the mystery”. Our Creator is an artist. “All nature sings and round me rings the music of the spheres”, says the hymnwriter. Our Lord is an artist with words too. The Spirit paints vivid pictures of mysteries, which the more we dig into and meditate upon, the deeper their mystery grows. But at the same time our quest becomes even more compelling. Think of the bread and wine. The more we examine these symbols the richer and sweeter they become. In the words of C. S. Lewis, they are “larger on the inside than they are on the outside”. Let us be like the blessed man who meditates on God’s things day and night. —Marilyn MacMullen
How good is the God we adore! Our faithful, unchangeable friend:
His love is as great as His pow’r, and knows neither measure nor end. —J. Hart
