More and more...closer and closer...
I am staying at the same place for a week...so besides the treadmill, there is only one walking trail, about 1/2 mile long...
Yesterday, after the treadmill, I walked the road taking pictures of the beautiful wild flowers along the way...as well as creek and huge evergreens...
Today, I focused on the edible berries...not sure what tomorrow’s focus will be...when examined, there is a lot to see in this 1/2 mile...it would take a team of specialists to complete the study of the area...birdwatchers, insect specialists, arborists, soil and rock guys, hydrological experts, horticulturists, etc., to really “see” everything on this route...and with the changing of the seasons, there would be more...
My comparison would be...as I read the Word...one pass through just doesn’t cut it...one time I find one thing, another time something else...not that is is changing , it is living...
God is speaking...
The big picture of the themes, as in the forest by a wide angle lens...as you get closer and closer to each, studiously checking out each detail, each word...you find more and more to learn, comprehend...ever nearing the foundation...the miracles, the nuances, the details, the Creator...
Thank YOU...
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
Psalm 33:6-9
Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees.
Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.
Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart.
The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
Psalm 119:12,18,33-34,13
You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,
John 5:39
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
