The Word in Focus with Dr Larry Taylor

YHWH is my light and my salvation. 

Whom shall I fear? 

One thing I have longed for, yearned for, 

sought after, like a thirsty antelope that’s been 

running for hours in the rocky wilderness 

– one thing – 

to live in the 

Divine House of Love 

wherein lies 

Beauty and Truth. 

Splendor and beauty emanating 

from their Source. 

Exploding, swirling nebulae, 

dancing curtains of aura borealis, 

breaching humpback whales, 

shimmering mackerel, 

scurrying hermit crabs, 

swaying kelp, 

baby’s first smile, 

weathered grandmother’s face, 

laughter of friends

Beauty in, over, under, around us

every moment, every day

God is beautiful

Beauty, like sunlight must be absorbed

It does not come from Amazon.

One thing I have longed for, yearned for, 

sought after, like a thirsty antelope that’s been 

running for hours in the rocky wilderness 

– one thing – 

to live in the 

Divine House of Love 

wherein lies 

Beauty and Truth. 

To enquire in God’s House of Love 

for this is where wisdom lies, 

where Hokhmah and her sister Sophia

dwell, robed in fine linen of purple and blue

Here are answers. Here is mystery.

Here is knowledge. Here is unknowing.

Wisdom beyond language

whispers across the sea

creativity, curiosity, searching, seeking

satisfied unsatisfaction 

always satiated, always discontent

filled yet longing for more

Infinite Grace.

Infinite Love.

To Behold the Beauty of the Lord and

Enquire in God’s Temple.

Sit still

Watch. Listen.

The divine footfall is soft
