Unexpected energy from the cave

I've been toiling in private for a couple of days. Yesterday I could have been on house arrest and not been thrown off my game one iota. A lot of times when I'm "in my cave" cranking on some assignment it can really suck the life out of me. Not this time. I'm pumped up.

I think I know why.

The writing I've been working on has required me to think deeply about our YFC mission statement (it's written on the graphic above my pic on this blog site). I have sought to introduce some biblical commentary to five different phrases in the mission statement. So I've also been flipping through a lot of pages in the scriptures, immersing myself in some very rich passages from God's word. It feels like my spiritual digestive system just got a big ol' colon cleanse.

And we will never stop thanking God that when we preached his message to you, you didn’t think of the words we spoke as being just our own. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it was. And this word continues to work in you who believe. -- 1 Thess 2:13 NLT
