Today was a good day for a bath. No, I didn't have time this morning to get up and take one, an actually, I have a shower, so that just couldn't happen. You are probably thinking I may be refering to the lovely wet soggy weather...did I do any bathing that way? No, nope, didn't do any puddle splashing, however I know a whole lot of muddy little children who did.
For the first time in a long time I did some "word bathing". I found this awesome little devise I used to record my trip across the country about 2 years ago. I took around 15 key verses I have been contemplating on and spoke them out onto my little recorder. It was awesome, I have been listening to it over and over and over again. I really am not good at memorization, and I really don't have a photographic memory like my 22 year old son. So over and over is the best way for me. After a few days of listening to the same verses over and over, I feel as if I have been washed, bathed, and mellowed. It reminds me of listening to a great relaxing piano piece...it just quiets me and sort of mesmerizes me. So, it brings me back to keeping things simple, and singular.
How have you been able to bath today, I pray you will find Gods bathing in your life.
Welcome to blogland! Found this Scripture about Christ cleansing His church: .....just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. That's from Ephesians 5.
