In the calm before the storm -- aka: a quiet house filled with napping girls before tonight's start to VBS 2005 -- I am reflecting on the movement of God through His Word.
This morning, we received our second message in our "Summer at Sinai" series. The first commandment, to place no other gods before God Himself, is the most basic starting point of faith. It affirms that God Alone is qualified to rule my life as Lord, Sovereign and King. It affirms man's place while upholding the reign of God.
You'd think that message would be so simple, lifelong Christians would be bored to tears. And yet, through the move of the convicting Spirit, God once again used His Word to convict hearts to repentance.
His Word, even in its most "elementary" moments, still penetrates to the point of dividing soul and spirit. I witnessed that again this morning and experienced it again this week as God worked on my heart in the development of His message.
