There is a quality of living that lies dormant within. We are carried by routines through our days. We follow expected courses of education, career and retirement. We develop relationships with others that dance on the surface of life. We satisfy basic hungers and drives and we go beyond to other, fleeting satisfactions...but there remains a quality of living that is deeper, that is part of an eternal river, that we know lies within and yet we often allow to lie, dormant or sleeping while we dance on the surface of living. The Lord comes to awaken the dormant deep within and nurture the awareness of our connection with forever. Rather than satisfaction with the earthly life, He longs to show Himself through our surroundings to draw us upward and deeper to Himself. When we are "born again" to new life by trusting in the work of Jesus on the Cross this dormant aspect of our nature is awakened and somewhere within we realize that it was for this quality of living that we were made!
Psalm 57: 8 Awake, my glory!
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the nations.
10 For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the nations.
10 For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.
blessings,
Rob Smith
