Life is breathed out by Scripture, all that was once mundane and boring takes new form. The reader’s heart is quickened to see the colors of the trees with a wholly different meaning. The senses are heightened to feel the gentile breeze as it has never been felt before.
No longer is life a constant struggle for excitement, rather it is an adventure to live. For there is an enemy in need of fighting and there is a struggle worth living through.
The need to run from high to high is not necessary for there is depth to the life in awe of Scripture. The flatness of the former life is one that stands in stark contrast to the vastness of the life lived in the pages of the Bible.
It is not a book of guidelines to be picked up at the readers convince. It is not a newspaper to be read only for the comics. It is not a self-esteem boosting piece of ‘literature.’ And it is surely not something to be read so as to be seen as a ‘good person.’ It is home.
