Good morning; the sun is rising as we are in the Lord Jesus! Do you ever have images that stick in your head? Some of them we might wish to go away, and others we want to cling to. The staying power of an image is or song is amazing in light of how difficult it is to memorize text. Why didn't God make the Bible a series of images or pictures? How easily that would stay with us and in our hearts. A couple of reasons come to mind; one, the Word is for studying. God wants us to come back again and again to study his word and learn slowly or quickly as his purpose is worked out in our lives. Two, images don't always leave us that choice that God wants us to have. An image from a movie may not go away when it very much needs to, and dwelling on it may be sin. A moving picture of Jesus giving the Sermon on the Mount might be too much for us in these difficult times. God seems to go out of his way, if you will, to make sure that everyone has a choice. A choice free of coercion, at least on God's part, to accept or reject Jesus as the Son of the Living God. I choose to believe, how about you?
Enjoy the boundless love of Jesus today!
