Today’s Thought “Spiritual Meat and Potatoes” G. Ward

 

Psalm 1: ² But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, and on His Law he meditates day and night.

 

While spiritual slumps exist in believers, they should be periodic, but not as some have supposed, that is years. Followers of Christ must consider all the tender mercies provided, doing so intentionally; by breaking routine that allows a “quiet time” with a passage or more (with every electronic device off) to know it’s God’s Word and therefore HIM talking to us. If your meditations take you to an issue of adultery and you’re not married and deem it impertinent, you’re wrong; for an adulterate spirit can be found in any and requires devotion to Christ and HIS church. Moreover, if one is selective in that quiet pursuit, that is, only desirous of those melodic themes so inspiring, yet refusing correction, it can be synonymous with a daily plan of cake and ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner; to thereafter witness health woes and tremendous increase on girth. Instead, one should endeavor the whole counsel and rejoice that Holy God is desirous to have a love relationship with us.

 

Father God, our delight is knowing You as remarkably loving and patient with us; so much so, that when we turn from You, by leading ourselves, You generously hear our repentance with open arms. So, we thank You for such comfort with perfect guidance that warrants our daily, intentional pursuit. Your yoke remains easy and Your burden light, so we lean on Your wisdom and power, that guides graciously and mercifully, through Jesus, Amen.
