All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for
reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16
ESV)
.-By Nancy Boorman
Interpretation, perspective and life experience are all overlaid on
scripture as we read and look for meaning within it. That isn't to say there
isn't a wrong way to interpret a text, because there is, but to say that each
time we read scripture God reveals himself/herself in a new way. One could say
," to each his own meaning." This process is revelation in motion. There is no
period '.' at the end of the ancient text but merely a comma ',' that continues
the Word of God today. God is not stagnant, or static never to reveal the
divine mystery again but alive, speaking in our contemporary culture.
Revealing
new meaning within life is an active part of the Spirit. All the Lord asks is
for you to be open in heart, and spirit to what might be spoken out of scripture
today, in this present time. We worship a limitless God . Don't box the Almighty
into a space of your own creation.
Prayer: Lord,in your mercy forgive us when we place our own physical
limits and boundaries upon you. When we form you from our own limited thoughts
and understanding. Help us expand and break down the barrier to your revelation
that we have built. Let us embrace further revelation even as it challenges us .
In your Sons name. AMEN.
There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”
