When we ignore the feeding of our souls we ignore the truth  “God…Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.” (Augustine)

Let me put it this way - God has put eternity in our hearts and nothing will satisfy us until we recognize and acknowledge that this is true.  Though the idea of forever may stymie us, our total being is really more comfortable with eternity than with finite time. 

This is why Jesus resurrected and by so doing left the message that we should accept our living after we die with as much readiness as we accept our living before we die.

          Hear the words of King David for whom an earthly kingdom was not enough, “…O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1)

If you are honest with yourself, would you say, “I truly want to grow spiritually” or, would you add an addendum. “…but just not right now.”

In short, it can be said that you are, at this moment, about as spiritual as you want to be.  And for some of you that may mean - you believe in God but you don’t want to overdo it.

Maybe you who are still relatively young, and have too often thought to yourself, Some day in my old age I will automatically become more spiritual.  When I will find myself more often counting the years and making “Nearer my God to thee” my theme song.  Then I will become more spiritual.

But why wait?  If it is important in the closing years of life, why is it less than important in the early and middle stages of life?

And if you are already in those closing years, hopefully you have arrived at this conclusion…and are practicing and seeking and finding that great gift - a blessed overwhelming confidence in Almighty God.

And if that is true, some scriptures have become a constant echo.

Psalm 118:6, The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

FOR YES...

Every person has a relationship with God –

either as a spiritual anarchist in rebellion

or a halfhearted follower in lukewarm acceptance

or a believer in all out dedication.
