Desire

Think I just received a revelation from God while reading Leviticus for tonight...

I've always been troubled by my inability to absorb or understand the deeper meaning beyond the texts I read in the Scripture. This has been going on for about 2 months.

While reading the narrative in Leviticus 23, about the Feast of Weeks, God just dropped into my heart that perhaps I have been reading the Word the wrong way.

I have been reading it with the intent to learn something from it SOLELY. Isn't this akin to studying a textbook? I have forgotten to learn how to delight and revel in His presence as I read the Word.

I have taken reading the Bible as a duty rather than a desire.

God whispered this thought into me that I should be reading the Word out of love, not duty. Not to focus on what learning points I can derive from, but to read the word He breathes life to with an already-victorious mindset.. The Words which shout, "Victory is already His!"

Thank You Lord, for just gently dropping this epiphany into my heart!
