Emails. Do they
weigh you down? I’m looking to click
through mine pretty fast. Get them
finished. But these certain ones have kept
me in their grasp. They’re from
Messianic Bible. They’re full of verses and
Middle East current events and notes of Jewish life. Very nicely written. Wonderfully valuable. And actually I’m the one who signed up for
them. But they’re long. I have difficulty keeping up. In time I have a heavy backlog weighing on me. Then one day I gained new perspective. I credit the Lord for resolving my problem,
and really He must’ve changed more than my eyes. He must've reached into my heart. And what He showed was to look at these
emails not as emails. Sounds so
simple. Instead, look at them as time to study
the Bible. Just unplug the laptop and take it to the table. Find a pen, open the Bible, and my mindset starts to ease. In resetting the stage, or in moving to a different stage, I’m no longer hurried and pressed to click ‘delete.’ No longer is this a housekeeping task but rather a pleasure of the heart. Psalm 26:2-3
reminds me, “Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for
your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.” Just as David sought the Lord in these verses, so may you and I seek Him to keep
fine-tuning us, to uncover even our smallest nooks and crannies in need of His
perspective. May He bless you and refresh your
walk today.
