Do you ever have days where you read a passage from scripture and it reads differently to you that day? Not something you have spotted in the text previously unseen, but something akin to the light hitting it from a different angle allowing you to see the texture. Thus is my reaction to reading your selected verses today. Thank you..
“For the word of God is LIVING and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Yes. I see it as peeling back layer upon layer of meaning in His living Word, an experience that is never complete because the depth and breadth of God Most High is fathomless.
Scripture is God-breathed. It is living and breathing. Yes, every time we read Scripture, God's Word, we're being resculpted by His hands. Our minds transformed to His word because it is living and breathing. Thank God!
Do not hide Your face from me. Just the fact that the face Of the Lord, who is Spirit, is so important to the psalmist, that he begs Him not to turn it away from him, should everyone give pause before they don a facemask
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all You have done;
I muse on the work of Your hands.
I stretch out my hands to You;
My soul reaches for You like a weary land. Selah.
Answer me quickly, O Yahweh, my spirit wastes away;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;
For I trust in You;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Yahweh,
I have concealed myself in You.
— Psalm 143:5-9 LSB

Even the occasional atheist inspires with the contrast of light and darkness.
Amen!
