Eph. 3:8-10 reads, "And so here I am, preaching and writing about things that are way over my head, the inexhaustible riches and generosity of Christ." Of course, this relates to the Apostle Paul, but it also relates to me and the countless others who speak or write of Jesus. I am in the best of company, and grateful for it.
Just one page in my Bible, THE MESSAGE, page 2126, is filled with dates, telling me that I have written in my journal on those dates about the passages dated. Imagine! Just one page of Paul's writing, but miles and miles of wisdom shared with me and millions of others over the years.
My simple blog is a poor imitation of all the writing already done in the Word of God, that early writing which tells all God wishes us to know concerning Jesus and His extraordinary wisdom and hours. I write because I stumble with the spoken word. I save my smile, my arms, legs, and my voice to personal visits when called upon.
I am amazed that God's wisdom and love is available to me. I am amazed that God allows me to believe in Him so strongly that I am compelled to write, to give back in some way the wisdom and love God gives to me. Therefore, I blog.
My blog is the best that I can do. I send it out with a prayer that a hungry one will find his or her spiritual "meal" complete in the words of Scripture and my simple explanation of them. I welcome them to the company of believers. So, goes God in His work.
Mystifying, isn't it? God plants and teaches. Then, God uses and completes His use. And we obey in thanksgiving. A better job could not possibly be needed or wanted. So, read up and be ready, guided by God, inspired by His Spirit, we sit together at the computer and pour out our souls! Did He not say He was with us? Yes, He is indeed.
Thanks be to God! AMEN
As Always, Cousin Jo
