I don’t believe it.
That’s the problem.
I believe in the pursuit of happiness on my terms.
I believe my broken cisterns will satisfy.
The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
to believe that his living water really does satisfy
to believe that his word is really more sustaining than food
to believe that his Word is really to be feasted–even gorged–upon
And that my broken cisterns will never satisfy
worse–that he will give me over to them
worse–that they end in death
That’s the Problem.
I want to believe it.
Or do I?
The struggle is real
truly this struggle is not against flesh and blood
God, help my unbelief…
As I feast at the table of your Word,
install your wisdom within my heart.
Thank you.
