Old and New

It’s all about the language.  Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek that’s the two prominent languages used within the scriptures.  Words are important.  Whether we sign, speak, write or draw symbols and pictures we all must communicate.  What language does God speak?  Personally he speaks to me in the language I understand.  Sometimes I have to pull layers and layers of words off to hear God but consistently he speaks.  Developing an ear to hear God is my part and a difficult tasks sometimes.  Sadly I confess the sound of God’s voice gets pushed aside by noise, but always when the noise causes me to drift a little too far the sound roars and even in the darkest of places when life seems empty I turn aside to the sound of Light.

The first recorded Word God spoke was Light.  The Light that was is the Light that is and the Light that will always be.  God created, the Spirit hovered and the Word spoke and Light existed.

And the Word became flesh………………

Sight blinded

Eyes wide open I entered this world to see but only dark.

Someone there anointed my eyes but did not Light impart.

I wonder how many anointed ones who ever make a sound,

Can see they can but bear the Light not be the Light profound?

For when my eyes at last did shut I saw through blindness clear,

For what I saw I could not see till faith replaced the fear.

Now darkness does not sit as judge nor peers for my jury

But Light alone bows my knee and releases Peace with fury.

Discipline is my solace a rod applied with Love…

I hear before I see to reach the height above.

Tears dim my eyes in journey now I see darkly yet tis sweet

Truth lights my path as I head home to worship at His feet.

Light

Light in the beginning was spoken.  Light was not imaginable.  Light was heard. Light was faith.

The Light was good.

Light blinds so that you see only the light and hear the sound.

Not the sun nor the moon …..just first Light into all that is created.

The Creator speaks Light.  The Light is good……….The Creator divided the Light from the darkness that covered the face of the deep……….

A desolate empty canvas became washed in Light all because God Loved the World so much He gave Light………….

The darkness comprehended not the Light for the darkness was Divided……..the Light Pure, Right and Holy!

Why do shadows come?……….The real important question is where is the shadow cast?  Depends on the location of the Light…………………..O that my form may decrease so that my flesh might never cast a shadow…….For the light is before me and the light will be after me……………in the middle I call my life may He surround me.

Compass me O Light for I am a stranger to this world………direct my path and lead me with your voice for your command is my desire.  Love me and I have known Love for you alone Love to the depths where my soul lay.  Keep me not from shadows but in those moments when I cast off an image of myself…….breathe gently words of faith dispelling the fear of this valley.  Restore me here so that I may lie in peace awaiting the moment when you alone call me Home.

I will arise when you call and rest here quietly among the foreign waves of this world for the burden I bear here is Light…
