Heart Murmur

I sit daily with the book of Your words
holy utterance
divine revelation
learning of You

as I sit longer, press harder
jots and tittles
Masorete markings
each stroke unlocks and opens
secret passages ways

I’m drawn in
drawn near
throne room ahead

As I travel toward You
I hear a low-pitch rumble
a husky whisper
just beyond my ambit

entering the text
the rumble becomes
a murmur
the murmur vibrates within me

Pressing harder
nearer and nearer
the murmur takes on contour
jots and tittles become words
become construct chains,
become verbal nouns
prefixes and suffixes afix to verbs
meaning emerges
actions, pictures
the murmur becomes a chant
tens of thousands of voices
potent unison
robust truth rolling over me

I see them now
Sages reciting the scriptures
under their breath
remembering
the Ancients, praying Your promises
over the sick
over the wed
over the children
over the dead
these murmurs, Your utterance
these voices float toward Your throne
so much incense, wafting upward
toward Your heart
Your heart’s murmur
our hearts’ murmur
thus, our hearts can beat in unison.

As I meet my Maker

As I meet my Maker

Laying against eternal arms
resting safe from worldly charms
here I meet my Maker
here I greet my Maker

Life’s concerns unyielding weight
worry, fear and passions rage
‘til I meet my Maker
‘til I greet my Maker

Learning as I live
thoughts in constant bend
as I meet my Maker
as I greet my Maker

Desert heat beat down outside
‘neath outspread wings I safely hide
as I meet my Maker
as I meet my Maker

Time is nothing to be grasped
an hour like an eon pass
as I meet my Maker
as I meet my Maker

Leaning close He whispers softly
word of wisdom that ease my longing
as I meet my Maker
as I meet my Maker

Today I’m thinking all His thoughts
love gushes from a well within
still the beggar whom He bought
His blood–it cleanses all my sin

The work is His–but rest is mine
leaning on His arms divine
here I meet my Maker
here I meet my Maker

I am going to be posting bible studies through the book of Numbers in the coming weeks, and to accompany those studies, I will be posting some commentary and introductory material related to the book of Numbers.

By way of introduction, Numbers is the fourth book of the five books of Moses often called the Torah or the Pentateuch. As part of the Torah, Numbers is a significant book to study and understand for any believer in the God of Abraham, including those who acknowledge Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah. As scripture declares, Yeshua was a Jew and would have memorized the Torah from an early age and lived His life according to its truths.

In the observant Jewish and Messianic Jewish communities around the world, the Torah (books of Moses) is divided into weekly portions known as Parashah. Observant Jews around the world are reading and studying the same portion of scripture during the same week. The book of Numbers is divided into ten (10) Parashat (plural of Parashah) as follows:

Bemidbar (In the wilderness) Numbers 1:1-4:20

Naso (Take/carry) Numbers 4:21-7:89

Beha’alotekha (When you set up) Numbers 8:1-12:16

Shelach-Lekha (Send for yourself) Numbers 13:1-15:41

Korach (Korah) Numbers 16:1-18:32

Chukat (Decree of) Numbers 19:1-22:1

Balak (Balak) Numbers 22:2-25:9

Pinchas (Phinehas) Numbers 25:10-30:1

Mattot (Tribes) Numbers 30:2-32:42

Masei (Journeys of) Numbers 33:1-36:13
