What scripture is for me
Some say, it’s the Law. Made to rule over your life.
Some say, it’s a devotional. Flip open to a random page and find the perfect phrase
to help fight off your Tuesday.
Come, let me introduce you to a story.
The story of our world.
The scandalous claim of creation.
The paradox, of God’s faithfulness.
Come, and listen to the tale,
Of how God shattered every expectation.
Fulfilling every word he uttered,
in ways no one saw coming.
The story God and Man wrote together.
A story that reflects on all people.
That begins with one people.
Come witness the unified story that leads to Jesus.
From Adam,
To Abraham,
To David,
To the whole world.
The promises of old, made new.
The hope for the future, done the same.
Do not fool yourselves with the false teachers,
Who put the cart before the horse.
For nothing is possible without faith,
and faith is never baseless.
Hope in the Father, from where all things come.
See the Spirit, hard at work in the hearts and minds of his people.
Respond to the reality of Jesus. The very force that keeps our atoms together,
become flesh, and died, so that we may not.
Amen
