I've Got My Shovel....

The word of God is like a man who took a shovel and started digging, only to find that this hole had no end.  Yet, as he kept digging he found new treasures, new discoveries and found in the meantime the deeper he went the more immersed he became a mystery that many had never ventured out to search for.   

Many others have a dug a mere trench, a safe shallow hole, but the one who immerses themselves fully into the word of God will find they have dug so deep they sense that they have truly gone beyond ordinary and have discovered height and depths unseen.  They feel like an explorer who had the courage to venture out to find new discoveries when everyone else wanted to keep their feet firmly planted on solid ground. 

They find that as they dig deeper into the word of God they find mysteries become uncovered, they find joy seeps into them in ways they cannot describe and they realize that they have become closer with the one whom revealed all of scripture, Jesus Christ.  They cannot help, but fall more in love with the Father and His Son, Jesus. 

For if we truly submerge ourselves in dutiful study of the word of God we will find ourselves becoming all the more convinced that it is true and that is the very words of God.  We realize that the word of God is the most beautifully written book in all of history and we will find from beginning to end that through it cries out the very words of God’s plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. 

I’ve got my shovel, how about you?
