Today I read the Matthew passage in The Message and, as in many times before, enjoyed the colorful and descriptive language Eugene Peterson uses in his contemporary and self-described "reading Bible" (Preface). Today's highlight, looking through the lens of faith, is his rendering of "Seek first the kingdom of God..." with "Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out."
Father, let faith arise in me that makes You even more real; allow me to labor with You in Your actions; and to accept your gracious gifts. With all of Your genuineness, leadership, and supplying how can I miss out on anything? Such total faith can be the mark of a generation--a generation I want to be a part of. A generation immersed in and saturated with Your presence. Amen
