I believe that the Holy Spirit enjoys speaking to us both with and without words. We all learn in different ways, some people are visual, some are not, some are intellectual and logical, some are spontaneous and experimental. Whatever your primary learning language is, research tells us that the more different mediums you experience, the more likely you are to retain what you are learning.
So step out of your comfort zone, or into it. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you in a new way. You don’t need to “get it,” you don’t have to like it. Painter of sunsets and sculptor of canyons, please use this art for your glory and your purposes. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear. Amen. S. Jewell S. McGhee 09/26/09 |

Psalm 139
Psalm 139
Reflections by the Artist on
Psalm 139
I clicked on this and now I look at it, and LORD, you are with me, and you think about me. Later I am going to leave and to go you know where and sleep you know when. I am going to be so happy about something you already know about and I will praise you for your goodness! Then, later, there will be darkness and sorrows and loss. I will run and try to hide from feelings and things and people. Maybe if I close my eyes you won’t be able to see me. No, my darkness does not diminish your light.
You think of me, and you think of me, and you think of me. Thought and thought and thoughts, filling sandboxes and hourglasses and beaches. And coming away in my shoes and towel and on the car floor and in the cracks of the cushions. And it is never cleaned up because your thoughts keep coming.
You are with me in those dark times and in the light.
You bring growth and turn back death.
You form me from formlessness and you will read to me the book of my life page by page until you close the book and carry me like a sleeping child to my bed.
There is no one better to search me. No one more qualified to test me. No one with more goodness to guide and lead me.
I praise you, LORD, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. I know that full well.
