Wednesday in the word.
FAITHFULLY EMBRACE GOD’S PRESENCE
The Jordan River powerful symbolic meanings in the Bible. It is a boundary and a crossing point, a metaphor for spiritual rebirth and salvation, and a source of holy water. Perhaps you think about John the Baptist — baptizing new believers and the importance of Jesus’ baptism as an inauguration into his ministry. Jesus himself came to John at the Jordan River (Mark 1:9) — not to show repentance but to fully identify with us and “to fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15). What comes to your mind when you think of the Jordan River? The Jordan River represents an opportunity you have before you. Your own “Jordan” lies ahead, signifying that change is inevitable–even when certain obstacles may seem insurmountable.
COURAGE WHEN LIFE IS DIFFICULT
There are times in life when courage does not mean that we are not afraid. What do you do when you know that you have to keep going, but you don’t feel strong enough to take another step? That’s when courage means that we refuse to allow fear to have the final word. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is moving forward because you know God is with you!
WHEN SCRIPTURE REACHES DEEPER
In difficult seasons, Scripture can become more than a quick answer to hard circumstances. A verse applied too quickly can feel like a band-aid on a cut from a chipped glass, helpful for a moment but easily washed away. We need Scripture to reach deeper than the surface.
EASY TO EAT: TOUGH TO DIGEST
There is something powerful about the Word of God. It can meet us exactly where we are, and give us exactly what we need. John is handed a little book, a message from God. The angel tells him to eat it. At first, it tastes sweet, just like honey.
