I have really enjoyed the Bible readings these last couple of weeks. We have been reading about the story of David. His life how he begin as a shepherd, he kills Goliath, he marries Saul's daughter the story goes on and on with each act unfolding. That is what I like the story aspect of it. As John Elderdge writes:
"Life doesn't come to us like a math problem. It comes to us the way that a story does, scene by scene. You wake up. What will happen next? You don't get to know - you have to enter in, take the journey as it comes. The sun might be shining. There might be a tornado outside. Your friends might call and invite you to go sailing. You might lose your job"
You see for many years I took life like a math problem I just must find the answer. Life is not something I must find the answer to it is a story. On a personal level it is the story of Jesus and me. On the broader level it is the Love story of God and HIS creation. But it must be lived out scene by scene. That is what has happened since I became a Christian I am still in the story of life and Jesus is walking with me in each scene.
