Reading

Joshua 1:8 

This law scroll must not leave your lips! You must memorize it day and night

 so you can carefully obey all that is written in it. Then you will prosper and be successful.

 

Sacred reading is like escaping into the passivity of “God’s reality”

To be molded by hope through faith being formed by each letter.

It is more like being carved in trust into the ultimate Principality

And that through prayer and meditation is completed for the better.

 

My reading of the scriptures points to what is secure

If in sincerity, I search for God’s “Desirous” Will.

Guided by the Spirit ... it will reflect my priorities

And the awesome power ... that love for others fills.

 

When replacing sincerity to God ... by priorities of self-satisfaction

then the “fullness” of your life’s message ... becomes offensive to God.

All your misleading sacrifices ... are then presented as distractions

and will guide the “unknowing” ... to the altar of blindness you begot
