Good morning…
Three nights past the new moon, I happen upon an illuminating quote.
“I always wondered why it took ‘three days’ for significant things to happen in the Bible,” writes Barbara Brown Taylor in Learning to Walk in the Dark. “Jonah spent three days in the belly of the whale, Jesus spent three days in the tomb, Paul spent three days blind in Damascus–and now I know. From earliest times, people learned that was how long they had to wait in the dark before the sliver of the new moon appeared in the sky. For three days every month they practiced resurrection.”
His breath filled all things
with a living, breathing light—
A light that thrives in the depths of darkness,
blazes through murky bottoms.
It cannot and will not be quenched (John 1:4-5, VOICE).
In what ways does it feel like you are waiting in the dark, seeking a sliver of living, breathing life, practicing resurrection?
