You have taken care of the bills, the groceries, the kids. Now, how about yourself?
People feel weighed down by obligations. We hurry to appointments, egged on by cell phones, e-mails, and answering machines.
Each of us must check regularly on our inner life. This part of us, the soul, or the spirit, has to be groomed, also. This is the dimension where we seek deeper meaning to life than just eating and drinking.
Jesus said, "Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing? Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matt. 6:28, 33
_______________________ So, you feel hurried and harrassed and don't know where to go from here. Stop. Breathe. Picture a day and a time where you felt the earth pulse, heard magic sounds in the air, believed that there was a God in heaven. You can get back there. Just prepare to take the journey.
Let's start with a simple Bible promise from Matthew 7:7: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you."
You need direction. You have questions. Jesus promised that God would take us seriously if we muster up the emotional energy to ask, seek, and knock. Day by day, you can take steps to spiritual recovery. Start today by asking God to reveal Himself to you--then look for signs and sounds of God.
