the riches food remains unseen

It is 5:41 PM Sunday evening, I just realized I had not written in any of my four online diaries. I got losted in space I suppose today. Our lives are zooming by and soon the Day of Grace will be over forever. There will be no more opportunities to get saved from the wrath to come.

I got up this morning around 7:10 AM. And by 7:30 AM I was upstairs standing by our kitchen stove making a pot of oatmeal for breakfast.

After breakfast Carol and I prayed and then she left for church. While Carol was gone this morning I wrote in my paper diary, filmed a video for my Youtube channel and read from a book titled, 'Union With Christ' by Robert Letham till 12:30 PM.

Carol got home from church around 1 o'clock PM.

I spent the afternoon writing in my paper diary and reading from a book titled, 'Reformed Dogmatics: Holy Spirit, Church, And New Creation' Volume Four By Herman Bavinck [John Bolt, Editor & John Vriend, Translator]. I read in this volume by Bavinck on the Lord's Supper.

Carol left for church around 5 o'clock PM this evening and I have been waiting for night to fall. Last night I read mainly from a book titled, 'Deconstructing The Left From Vietnam To The Clinton Era' by Peter Collier & David Horowitz.

Today the sun was out all day, which has been a blessing.

I suppose I will close to drift. Tomorrow will soon be here.

An awe-full mystery is here
To challenge faith and waken fear:
The Savior comes as food divine,
Concealed in earthly bread and wine.

This world is loveless—but above
What wondrous boundlessness of love!
The King of Glory stoops to me
My spirit’s life and strength to be.

In consecrated wine and bread
No eye perceives the mystery dread;
But Jesus’ words are strong and clear;
My body and My blood are here.

How dull are all the powers of sense
Employed on proofs of love immense!
The richest food remains unseen,
And highest gifts appear—how mean!

But here we have no boon on earth,
And faith alone discerns its worth.
The Word, not sense, must be our guide,
And faith assure since sight’s denied.

Lord, show us still that Thou art good
And grant us evermore this food.
Give faith to every wavering soul
And make each wounded spirit whole.
