I can’t believe I have written
poetic sermons on three whole books of the Bible. For some reason, I started with Luke. I think it is because the Word was illuminated while reading Luke Chapter One. Then during a Bible study on the Book of Daniel, the Lord guided me to pair the gospel of Matthew with the Book of Daniel. It was as if he scheduled the perfect meal, the meat and the wine were perfectly paired. When I finished digesting those two books, the Holy Spirit led me to enter a discipleship class. And at that time, I began to write on the Book of Genesis. My whole desire is to always dig in and fully extract what the Word of God says. Writing poetic sermons is how I build intimacy with God. Some must think these poems take hours, but they actually take less than an hour. I write them in the morning, as soon as I awake, right when I open my eyes from the deep sleep. I grab my phone, and open my Bible app and begin reading where I last left off. I meditate and pray and ask God to help, then I go back and re-read what I read. Then I open my notes app and begin to write. Sometimes I will copy and paste, and look up the words that I don’t understand. Today, I completed Genesis 50, the last chapter in the book of creation. In this chapter I got to see Jacob and Joseph pass from this life to the next - to the place where Jesus lives. Tomorrow I will share more on their passing. But for now I want to dwell on how good God is - How He perfectly pairs His meat and His wine.
