A fresh dive in the word.

My three last readings through the Bible, has been english Bibles. That's bescause I like to read different translations, and also because I need to improve my second language. And I have just started over again in a new one. New American Standard Bible, is not a new translation, but to me it is. Compare to New Living Translation, it has more words I don't understand, but as I work through the pages, it's getting easier. By now, I find myself enjoying this translation.

The word of God is always alive. And the last weeks I really have experienced in a stronger way, the freshness of the Word. It's like having a bath in the morning, like sparkling fountain and a refreshing wind in the heat of the noon. Reading the word of God is sitting by the feet of Jesus, knowing his presence, feeling his nearness, beeing captivated in his lovingkindness.

I don't understand people who receive the word of God with faces like those who receive their death sentence. The Word of God has the authority to sustain me and everything else as well. It's good, and it does me good. And the deeper I go, the better. Have a daily dive. It will refresh you.
