Day 269: illustrated prayer

Ezekiel 3-4, I John 1, Psalm 71 OR Sirach 24

Ezekiel becomes the bodily illustrator of the troubles befalling Jerusalem. Just as his actions are symbolic, his descriptions of them should not be over-literalized. He is speaking, acting and writing in signs and metaphors. Such, sometimes, is prayer.

How does your body, your posture, your choice of time, place and position, illustrate your approach to scripture and to prayer? Is it time for a change of scenery?
