Daily Thoughts - One flesh
"to sanctify her, cleansing her by the bath of water with the word, that he might present to himself the church in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish." Ephesians 5:26-27
Have you ever thought how yeast works? You put a little bit in a batch of dough and it transforms the dough, changes it. The two meld together to become one. Without the yeast, it just isn't the same, with it the dough comes alive.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1. "to sanctify her, cleansing her by the bath of water with the word," Ephesians 5:26. I don't know how yeast works, I just know it works, I have seen it in action. The word is the yeast that we need to come alive. I don't know how it works, I just know it works for God tells us that. It is the bath of water with the word that sanctifies us.
A little each day, a little at a time to soak into the soul to transform the flesh into the body of Christ. The two shall become one flesh, it begins with us receiving the word of God and He does the rest with our cooperation.
Dear Father, I see You at work, I see the bread rising, taking form
and becoming what it is intended to be. Sanctify us with Your Word, transform us into Your body in a world that denies You. May we soak up Your Living Word in our lives and be transformed. Prayers of thankfulness for the grace You are pouring upon us in the stillness of the day. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
