I’m diving into your word, Lord, I want to learn more about you.

To receive any deep, inward profit from the Scripture you must . . . plunge into the very depths of the words you read until revelation, like a sweet aroma, breaks out upon you.  

~~Madame Guyon  

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

The Bible can seem, like a very scary book. We crack open the pages and hope to read something we can understand, let alone gain some insight and encouragement for life today.

Madame Guyon would say, dive in. Plunge to the very depths of the words. Let them surround you, wash over you. Because it is living and active, God’s Word makes its way into your heart. Like the sweet aroma rising from freshly baked bread, the revelation will rise out of the pages. It will shine a light into your darkness.

Light exposes everything, good and bad. When you can see, you can clean away the cobwebs in your life. God’s Word will describe how God’s holiness can pour over you and rid your life of unhealthy relationships and destructive addictions. The brilliance of his Word burns away the shadows.

It all starts when you open your Bible.

Scripture for Meditation

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edge sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12
