The unfolding

By Patty Perkins

Psalm 119:130 “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” (NIV)*

when i find myself

in a shadowed spot

bewildered and bemused,

may unfolding layers

of truth from your word

clarify the confused.

Psalm 119:130 is from the May 31st reading of The One Year Bible.

As always, it’s a wonderful treat for the spirit to read your work, Patty. And I love the dogwood photo–as it happens I have a dogwood poem ready to post–maybe Saturday! God bless you BIG–love, sis Caddo

Unusual angle for that dogwood shot – love the ideas presented in the unfolding!

  Thank you! His Word never seems to be all the way unfolded…always seems to be another layer. I don’t always get it…but a blessing when it happens!

    Isn’t that the fun of it all, when you ‘get’ something new after reading it over and over through the years??
