Profundity

"Its basic words can be understood by the lowly, but in its recesses are mysteries lofty and veiled."  --St. Augustine

Isn't it so true?  The Word of God is full of layers, depth that is only revealed by the Holy Spirit. It seems that just as I have peeled back one layer, and stand back to marvel at the beauty of it, I find another.  I find myself listening to the same chapter over and over--hearing something new each time.  It isn't long before I am in awe at the beauty and depth of God's Word.  I can truly echo the words of David in Psalm 119:18, when he said, "Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law."  And then again when he compares his own ways to God's, he says,  "When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies..."  O Lord, let me not turn to my own wisdom, yet lean wholeheartedly on You.
