If I spent as much time in the word as I do over-thinking I think my mind would stop racing
I think my fear would slip away into the thin wispy pages that I turn
I think the truth I find would erode away the bitterness that makes me callous
I think I would be sweeter because his promise would be at my fingertips each day
I think I would be able to tackle the things of life with better discernment and grace
I think I would be less distracted and keep my eyes on the eternal moments that are being fulfilled in what I do today
Last night I opened my leather bible and turned those wispy pages and felt connected to a fuller life. The chaos of my day, worries, expectations melted away as I studied about Jesus.
When I read the last verse and closed my bible for the night I was renewed and found a piece of me that had been missing.
