the linen garment.
After reading my daily devotional yesterday, somehow I felt that I had gotten nothing out of it. It happens. Although God’s word speaks to us always, sometimes what we routinely read is not what He wants to talk to us about. So I put down the book I had in my hand and went for the real thing: the Bible. And yes, I did the proverbial “open at random and put your finger on a verse without looking” thing. Interestingly enough, it went to Mark 14:51-52: “A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.” Hmm. This is new. I was aiming for some other more direct word….wait….not so fast. There was a word there. As I read it again and again, God began to speak to me, in His typical soft and quiet whisper. Why would a verse like that one even makes it to the Bible? Just two verses, right there in the middle of the story about the Lord’s arres...
