Delightful Mystery
Reading to me is so fascinating
With learning gains, surely liberating
Meeting mind’s search for wonders, never quenched
Enriching heart through counsel, delighting.
Complex process of thinking fortitude
Reading brings me nigh to God’s quietude
As I encamp in His Scriptures, musing
Bracing up my spiritual gratitude.
Mystery to my finite perspective
Though science makes it simply instructive
Reading midst its awesome complexities
Illumines me by its truth’s directive.
Comprehending still remains mysterious
For my seeking intellect, still curious
Since its blessedness I cannot fathom
In Bible study for faith victorious.
*Nehemiah 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
