Saturated with the
Word
Scripture: How
can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you
with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your
word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:9-11
All of our cultures share
love for the kitchen. God’s diversity is
showcased in all of our distinct cuisines.
In the Puerto Rican kitchen each spice: cilantro, garlic, onions and
others are mixed together for the perfect flavor. The seasoning process is not done in haste, but like my
'abuelita' taught me (grandmother), "it takes time to prepare the meat with
delicacy".
The word of God assumes this
process in an even more profound way. As we journey through the scriptures, God's truth marinates in our spirits like well-seasoned meat. When we encounter the storms of life, we must listen for that still small parental voice within us. Sometimes we feel alone and it is difficult to know if God is speaking to us as we navigate the complex realities of our lives. May we find assurance in the inspired word of God. May God's words become treasure within us that shines brighter than
the mid-day sun! No storm and no
disappointment will be able to take it away because we are the treasure!
Prayer: Dear God, may
your word dwell in my heart richly and may it safe guard me throughout this
day. Amen.
The Reverend Everdith Landrau
