I have been reading Eugene Peterson's The Message for over a year now.
Brilliant.
It's the Bible written in today's vernacular.
. . . a comfort . . . a challenge . . . a fountain of life on a daily basis.
I'm in the midst of Jeremiah and I'm struck by God's white hot anger. So angry. And yet so patient with a people who forget, ignore, and turn the other way. I think I would have got tired of them long ago.
But I also remember I'm one of those forgetful, turned-the-other-way people.
Today God says to me, "Obey Me."
And I answer, "Lead me in your way."
