Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus...

...Just to take Him at His word, Just to rest upon His promise, and to know "Thus saith the Lord!"

I am currently working through Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent, Beth Moore.

She shared a quote in todays reading from Anselm, an eleventh-century English monk;

I do not seek, O Lord, to penetrate thy depths. I by no means think my intellect equal to them: but I long to understand in some degree thy truth, which my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe, that I may understand.

I must confess I had to read this several times before I could honestly capture what was being said. In Chelsea terms;

Lord, I do not need to know all of your depths. I simply could not handle it! I am so thankful that you are God and I am not! I believe your Word completely and love you so. I desire to understand your truth more and more. My desire for understanding is not to lead me to belief but oh to teach me to love you more!

Think about this for a bit, I'd love to hear your version of this quote or any other feedback you may have.
