In Hebrews 5 the writer of Hebrews expresses his exasperation with folks who no longer try to understand…
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.
Hebrews 5:11 NIV
There is a great deal that we should like to say about this high priesthood, but it is not easy to explain to you since you seem so slow to grasp spiritual truth.
Hebrews 5:11-14 J B Phillips
I am trying to understand… God is not exasperated with me 🙂
…and I don’t know if I’ve ever been ever different… but I do know that once upon a time I was a child, and heard God’s voice in my heart… but its so long ago, and such a distant thing to me now, for he speaks with me all the time! I once heard others mentioning how God spoke with them, and I wondered what that meant, what it was like, and longed for it… not knowing that it had already been happening to me my whole life. In sorting out my thoughts, I found him there… his voice… that had been there all along… but perhaps I’ll make more of an effort to express this mystery at another time… once again I digress…
