Making heads or tails of God's message is a futile task. Seriously, can we expect to sit face to face with the Master over a mocha and "get it?" I would think that the flavors in a mocha are more distinguishable then the concepts put forth in God's Word.... unless....
We realize that these words and messages are in a language that far, far exceeds our ability to comprehend. God has given us, through his followers (some 5000 years ago) not even a glimpse.. a smackerel... a tiny morsel... compared to the eye opening, heart shaking view we will see in His presence. This is not to say we can't glean some power and comfort from it when we need it.
Perhaps, if we allow God's word to flow over us and through us as if it were warm water, we would enjoy it more easily. Seeing God's holiness in the LAW is enough to scare anyone away, but the passionate love of Jesus is the balm that heals lives. God's word is bread.... and it is drink. It is sustaining.... and edifying. God's word is gentle.... and it is sharp. Some days, it is deep and other days .... it is not. I propose that one glean from it the holy presence and witness that it was intended to be and know that someday.... we may "get it."
