Dream Word – OBEY
Jeremiah 18:15 "Because My people have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols. And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient paths…” NKJV
Today, I was again reading one of the best unintentional 'devotionals' ever written, it was Nicholas Albery’s, ‘Poem for the Day.’ In it, I came again across a piece by British poet, Louis MacNeice, called ‘Bagpipe Music.’ The poem is most certainly a crashing and crusading, inviting and indicting, cacophony of skirling and moving bagpipe music! I loved it, I enjoyed it, I was moved by it and I read it several times whilst wondering what on earth that it meant!?
One of the wonderful aspects of poetry is its evocative nature. The poem itself might present itself to be so complex, and so full of colour that even a third and fourth reading may still leave you with the sense that you ‘didn’t really get the fullness of it,’ or you ‘missed the point,’ never the less, it stirred something in you, it revived 'that something' which was almost a remembrance of something else, and for a few moments, it hooked you, it took you somewhere into your past, into a memory, into a sound, maybe, a smell, or a sight, a circumstance, a dream, and it reminded you, it warned you, it warmed you, it caressed you and maybe even comforted you. Yes, one of the wonderful aspects of poetry, even if you don’t fully understand the totality of the piece itself, is its evocative nature upon the soul.
Sermons too should have an evocative aspect to them. Many times folks have left me in confusion, when coming up to me after a sermon saying, “I really was blessed by that point you made….,” or maybe, “It was so helpful when you said….,” or, “God really spoke to me when you made reference to….” Yes, it has been confusing because often I wasn’t making that point, and often I wasn’t speaking on that matter they referred to, and certainly, I had made no reference to the thing they thought I had made reference too! Yes, though not half as much fun, listening to a sermon is like listening to poetry, in that though the point may be missed, some other new spiritual synaptic pathway is never the less being burrowed into the brain, or more often than not, an old way of remembrance, like an old mine shaft, is being surprisingly opened up again! The new spiritual synaptic pathway will bring all the connectivity of light and life and joy whilst when the latter happens, that is, when old mine shafts are
