PS

The Lord brought something to me tonight and I thought I'd share. Nothing real deep or theological but here goes.
When I saw the scripture verse from a previous blog, Psalm 63:1 and after reading Rita's blog , I started thinking about being in need. The verse says "my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee". In our society today, we in America rarely deny our flesh. I can't honestly tell you the last time I was really thirsty. I mean since the invention of bottled water and having a 7-11 on every corner, we don't know what it is to really need water. Then there is that whole thing of filling up on the wrong stuff. I can speak from experience. I love to drink Coca Cola. I could go days without water, and because the consequence of that decision isn't immediate, my body would be harmed without me knowing I had caused any damage.
I said all that to say this. Sometimes I fill my life with things that make me feel full but don't nourish me spiritually. Not bad things, just not the best thing; God's best. And when you're full ,good nourishment doesn't taste as good as it should. The artificial stuff has covered up it's goodness.
I think I am going to schedule some "planned neglect" so maybe I can sharpen my thirst and hunger for the things of God.
Simple, I know. That's how God speaks to me, I get simple.
