Every now and then a song text that I’ve sung for years and years will suddenly strike me with new meaning. It’s not quite Christmas season yet, but I’ve been listening to a Christmas Lullaby with my kids and heard the song “We Three Kings.” Have you ever pondered the meaning of that song? It’s quite moving once you realize the song is about us on a journey towards Jesus and not about the wisemen from the East at all, though we may have thought it was, having heard the song hundreds of times since our youth. I think sometimes scripture can be like that to us.

There are verses we’ve memorized and stories we’ve heard and enjoyed since childhood that we overlook and think we completely understand, when out of nowhere BOOM — and God suddenly brings a new and greater revelation to His Word. We can never ever completely have fully learned everything there is know about the Bible, His voice, His character, His love. There is always more for God to show us. This is what I love most about the Dwell series.

Even if we think we know all the stories, we are wrong. There is more. Dwelling: speaking, writing, meditating, singing, praying the Scripture helps our spirits to focus and receive more from God. And He has so much more for us! Never be content. Never settle. Never think there is nothing else to the Christian journey. There is always more, always a deeper place of intimacy and knowledge in Christ to be had.

Are you in a lull? Are you in a dry season? Are you bored? Keep seeking! God will break through! Even if the seeking seems mundane or worthless at the time… it is not. There is deep blessing in the journey. Be encouraged today that God is going to show you more.
