You know when you’re reading the Bible and a verse you’ve read a thousand times smacks you upside the head in a whole new way?  

I love when that happens!  

 

Sitting during my quiet time today, I had a smack-upside-the-head moment while reading Matthew 6:33 in the Message.  The beginning says to “steep your life in God-reality.” 

Usually when someone says that they live in reality, the connotation is that they have low expectations, don’t dream big, and see life through pessimistic eyes.  

 

But, God-reality is different.  

 

God-reality is limitless.

         
          God-reality sees the blind with open eyes, 

                   
                    the deaf with hearing ears, 

                           
                              the mute with bold lips, 

                                       
                                        and the dead full of life. 

 

God-reality blows our wildest dreams out of the water.  God-reality is more than we could ask, think, or even imagine.  

 

I desire to steep my life in God-reality.
