I stumbled upon a mystery without a solution, a mystery so
immense that I gave up trying to find an explanation because the whole mystery
defied belief.
~~Anne Rice
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.
A
well-written mystery keeps us glued to the pages of the book. The characters
engage us, the plot twists surprise us, and we can’t wait to discover the
resolution. We’d be very angry if we got to the end and the mystery was still
unsolved. “They never knew who did it. The End.”
The
author Anne Rice stumbled across a mystery without a solution in her journey to
becoming a Christian. The mystery of God’s love, of a God who would die in our
place, of salvation bought and paid for, of a Savior who would take up
residence in us to help us live for him, of a God who prepares heaven for us—it
all makes sense. It’s a mystery so immense that we can’t wrap our minds around
it. The mystery defies belief yet draws us to believe.
Fortunately
we don’t need to have all the answers. We only need to trust the One who does.
Prayer
for Meditation
The mystery is beyond my
understanding, Lord. But I trust you.
Scripture
for Meditation
This message was kept secret for centuries and generations past,
but now it has been revealed to God’s people. For God wanted them to know that
the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the
secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory. Colossians
1:26-27
