Deepening... The Weekend Brew

The voice calls often and repeats its message as a tender inquiry,

A low whisper that floats in on the wings of morning

A gentle, inviting voice that offers more than just its sweet melody.

The voice beckons for me to read, dive deeper and embrace the Word of God.

The voice craves one on one time teaching and filling me with His goodness.

The voice is God and His one desire is my time with Him in His word.

Since the beginning of 2015, I have been pursued harder to spend time in God’s Word.

The deepening is the work being done in the dark crevices, the hard to reach places and inner chambers of our hearts. It is not just the reaching in, but the softening and acceptance that takes place as the deepening pursues and eventually takes up residence. It is God pursuing us into a deeper relationship through His Word and the pursuit requires our time.

In the deepening, God produces a heart work to open wide the inner core to hear and know Him. He knows that His Word is the key and He loves when we spend our time reading and learning.

[Tweet “In the deepening God sets us free with the truth of His Word.”]

God calls us to deepen our relationship with Him through His Word. Click here to read the rest at The Weekend Brew.

Blessings,

That is my prayer today–that God soften the hidden, dark places and work changes that he knows I need to make.

Deepening. Yes, that’s such a good description, because it’s not as if God is holding back part of Himself that we have to find — instead, we are digging into what is already there and available. Good thoughts for my Sunday morning.

So glad you are here Michelle! It is true that every time we gift ourselves with God’s word and moments with Him we are digging into the deepening that He cherishes from each of us. Hope you have a blessed week!
