Four simple letters, Lord. You do so much with four simple letters. Four revealing letters. Four words to choose from.
E - I - L - V
Two vowels and two consonants. Not really much to work with, Lord. At least not for us humans. However Your power in these four letters is great.
LIVE- living the abundant life in Christ
“For in Him we live and move and have our being. ‘As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’” Acts 17:28
EVIL- living life separated from God and His will
“He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the Lord.”
VEIL- what the bride of Christ wears as she awaits her Bridegroom OR
the veil that covers the eyes of those who cannot see Him or His ways
“But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.” 2 Corinthians 3:14
VILE- the ways and destruction of the Enemy
“The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.” Psalm 12:8
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:1
Lord, I want to live Your abundant life as Your bride so that You will shine through my life, drawing others to You.
Four simple letters, Lord. I continue to be awestruck at how easy You make it for us to see You if we will just look to You. You love us so much. You love me so much. Thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice for me. Always a gift too hard to comprehend.
