IIMU/UUNGW 2:7

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.

Are you experiencing a wilderness season, finding no water or oasis for your soul? What if this season held the greatest hope of all: to know God’s Presence intimately, authentically, and passionately? This devotional encourages you that this time is not wasted, though some days you feel as if you are going nowhere. Because no matter what terrain you tread, God is journeying with you as Comforter, Life-giver, & Friend.

In this 7-day reading plan, Beth Moore uses questions from Scripture to lead you into intimacy with the One who knows you best. The crooked punctuation mark at the end of a sentence speaks of curiosity, interest, and perhaps doubt. A question is an invitation to vulnerability, to intimacy. The Bible does not shy away from such an invite. Over and over we see the people of God asking questions of their Creator. We also see the God of the universe asking questions of His creation. The Quest is a challenge to accept the invitation.  Learn to dig into the Word, to respond to the questions of God, and to bring your questions before Him. Let the crooked punctuation mark be the map that points you into a closer relationship with the Father.
