SCRIPTURE: 1 Sam. 23; Ps. 31,54; Matt. 7
Matthew 7:6 “Don’t be flip with the sacred. Banter and silliness give no honor to God. Don’t reduce holy mysteries to slogans. In trying to be relevant, you’re only being cute and inviting sacrilege.
OBSERVATIONS: In a world where slogans and catch phrases are all the rage, there has to be more than flip statements to get God’s truth across. Good place to start, lousy place to finish.
APPLICATION: Slogans are fine–if they are the doorway to deeper meaning and mediation.
PRAYER: God, help me to find ways to turn anecdotes into invitations to thought and contemplation. Amen.
