James 1:22-26
Have you ever met a poet? They're a little different aren't they? They seem to embody their words. From Shakespeare to Khalil Gibran to King David, poets cannot help the most private places of their souls jump out onto their skin. They don't keep love or anger or sadness to themselves. It ebbs out through public words. And if you do know a poet, you know that it alls ebbs out through the way the carry their days. Everything they think and believe - good or bad - reaches through their finger tips.
poiētēs
Greek for a poet.
Paul tells us not to just listen to God's word... but that we need to be poets. We need to grab onto what Scripture says - grab hold of it, internalize it, believe it, act it out, live it out. Let it reach through our finger tips.
