Spiritual musings

"Muse" what a great and under used word. It's not one that I use often, but one that communicates so much. When we muse we pause and think intentionally about something or someone. It's a word I ran across this morning in Psalm 77, "I will muse on your [God] mighty deeds." Muse carries with it an earthiness, a common experience that we all engage in. We might muse when we are struck by the beauty of scenery, the miracle of life, or an idea that catches our attention. It's not spiritual like "meditate." Musing is an ordinary experience.

My hope is that we, like Asaph the author of the psalm, pause to muse about God. Join us in musing about the beauty, miracle, and blessing of God in the birth of Jesus.

Thanks for reading
