Let the entire truth of the new covenant writings find its home in your heart in abundance and have unrestricted liberty in guiding your life. “Studying the Bible is like gathering apples. First you shake the tree, then you shake each limb, and then you shake each branch and twig. Then you look under every leaf” (Martin Luther). The Bible is shallow enough to wade in and deep enough to drown an elephant. It is truly a paradox that a well worn passage, often read, memorized and quoted can suddenly, under the “apokalupsis”-- the unveiling of the Holy Spirit, reveal a hidden treasure that delights and nourishes our spirit. Drink deeply of the living water of life, God’s Word, for shallow droughts intoxicate the brain but drinking deeply sobers one again.
