Returning

I awoke early this morning since I have been working nights for a little over a week, and did not work last night. So, I spent a little time in Bible reading and prayer. I read from Psalm 51, and the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew’s gospel. I must confess it’s been awhile.

But how the words sing in my soul! How rich and fresh His words sound to inner ear, and fill my heart! During my commute in rush hour traffic I have been listening to “classic rock” for the first time in a really long time, and it was a joy to hear some songs that are so familiar that I can sing along even when years have passed since last hearing them. It hasn’t been years since I have read the above verses, and His words are much more familiar than the songs, and although similar the joy of returning to them is in no way on the same scale.

How much more beautiful and precious are words of life!
