Struggling to Fly

Psalm 27:2-4

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

surely I have a delightful inheritance.

I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;

even at night my heart instructs me.

I have set the LORD always before me.

Because he is at my right hand,

I will not be shaken.

My goal this autumn and winter is to read more books. Food for the mind and soul; nourishment of thought. At the top of my list? The Bible. It seems ridiculous to me how I have neglected this book as of late. I asked a friend this summer, "If you had to choose only one way to know the heart of God, which would it be: prayer or the Bible?" Without hesitation he said, "The Bible." Without hesitation I said, "Prayer." But then I was struck with the truth - we don't have to choose, because we have both. And I have been enjoying the riches of prayer while ignoring the potential riches of God's written word. Both together...joy, peace, love, comfort, mercy, can only multiply!!

Duh.
