Psalm 34:10
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
I had the chance to talk to a friend yesterday and as we chatted about church, he mentioned that he visited one on Easter Sunday and the message ministered to him as if it was a year's full amount that he had missed out on in his current church. I listened and a part of me understood what he was talking about.
There's a fine balance needed when we sit in church contented or unsatisfied. I'm not fully unsatisfied where I am to suffer a great internal dissonance, but I do wish for greater drive in my church where the word will be empowered with ministry. Whenever we have a lack of excitement for God's word, so many lives seem to be ambling on, myself included.
Its been a while since I've pondered at the state of hunger in me. The constant serving has consumed me to actually think about whether I'm being nourished adequately. I do believe now is an important time to evaluate the condition of my life so I can ensure I lack no good thing in God.
I long for the day that I come weekly and be overwhelmed by the life changing encounters of God's word that it blows my mind again and again. I imagine it to be as when I'm preparing myself for my annual hot spring resort holiday in Japan where I expect a relaxing holiday. However, I end up having a more than amazing holiday stay because everything that I experienced was beyond my expectations and resulted in me returning in a glowing state.
There must be more.
M.
