English Standard Version
Sorry for the delay -- I've been out and about, between Denver and New Orleans, but have returned and am back at it. Nehemiah has finished the walls, but now there was still work to be done.
It feels like there is always work to be done, and sometimes that can be exhausting -- but part of being a Christian is always having a next step in faith. We complete our baptisms on the day we die, and until then, we're always growing, always hungry and looking for what God has in store for us next. Someone who is 8 and someone who is 88 has a next step that the Holy Spirit is leading them towards -- so may we never get too comfortable and think that we've made it as far as we need to go. The 1,000th time we read a Scripture passage, there is still more treasure in there for us to mine, still more wisdom to glean, more truth to unfold. The beauty of faith is it grows richer and deeper the older and more mature we get, as we dive deeper into an infinite ocean of love and grace.
