As much as I oft feel the weight of trying to help others delve into the Book of Concord, I cannot deny what an utter blessing writing the Snippets has been for me. Well, the dual blessing of studying our Confessions, crafting intros for each segment, and typing out the snippets from our Confessions coupled with typing out the Psalter, psalm by psalm.
The Living Word is being worked in me.
Really...without my knowing it at first...it seems. Oh, I am as lost as ever sometimes, yet I know that I am also found. Sound strange? Makes no sense to me, either.
Yet God's ways are not our ways. I prefer His. Mine stink.
Want to hear something stranger? When the psalm for the day is short, I find myself regretting not having chosen a longer one once my fingers reach the final verse. It is an ineffable experience to be reading, speaking (I sub-vocalize as I work), hearing, and typing the Living Word all at once.
Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!
