Over My Head

Paul writes, “And so here I am, preaching and writing about things that are way over my head, the inexhaustible riches and generosity of Christ. My task is to bring out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along. Through followers of Jesus like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels! All this is proceeding along lines planned all along by God and then executed in Christ Jesus. When we trust in her, [She trusts in us] we're free to say whatever needs to be said, bold to go wherever we need to go. So don't let my present trouble on your behalf get you down. Be proud!”

When Paul says he is over his head, well that is saying something. The bottom line here is we do not have to be experts in theological, hermeneutical whatever - we just need to know whose we are – an imperfect, soaking wet, baptized, beloved child of a gracious, merciful, bountiful, loving God! And that is what we talk about with those we meet along our life’s pathway.

I pray for God's abundant blessings and peace to surround and comfort you throughout all of your days!

Amen!
