Are you singing snatches of Scripture at home, work, & play?
Posted by tom | Jun 22, 2009This morning, I've spent some time meditating upon the Word. I began in the Psalms with the girls. After they all left the house, I spent some time watching and reflecting upon The Story of the English Bible. The video reminded me of a quote from Erasmus* which speaks to how the voice of God spills out upon all of life. May the Father through the Spirit stir up the Word and work itself out where-ever you are, in you each and every moment of today.
Would that these were translated into each and every language … Would that the farmer might sing snatches of Scripture at his plough and that the weaver might hum phrases of Scripture to the tune of his shuttle, that the traveler might lighten with stories from Scripture the weariness of his journey.
*Dutch Renaissance humanist and Catholic Christian theologian who lived October 27, 1466/1469, (Rotterdam) – July 12, 1536 (Basel).
