Entertain My Faith

Psalm 119:27-28
Open up my understanding
to the ways of your wisdom
and I will meditate deeply
on your splendor and your wonders.
My life’s strength melts away
with grief and sadness.
Come strengthen me
and encourage me with your words.

SEVENAPPLES COMMENTARY
Until recently,
I’ve failed to appreciate the lyric,
“entertain my faith.”
It felt lazy to me.  Spoon-fed.
Yet, with just a little effort,
I realized my lack of appreciation
was just a lack of understanding.
To entertain does not involve laziness.
This verb holds far more
creative power than that.
To entertain faith involves
an “active consideration.”
A “pleasant holding” of attention.
A “cherishing.”
Yes, Lord.
Help me entertain my faith.
