Have you thought of religion as a life of gloom -- a
sort of living, painful penance merely to be endured -- a lot
o~
"don'ts,
11
and giving up of every pleasure that makes life
worth living --with all the rewards to be collected in the
herea.fter?
~esus
said:
11 • • •
I am come that they might have l..I.FE,
and that they might have
it
~abundantly''
(Jolm 10:10).
Let
us~
prof! t
by
the words of George Romanes, a
Br1
tish
psychologist of the last century: "Some men are not conscious
o~
the cause of their misery.. • . For the moat part they con–
ceal the fact as well as possible from themselves by occupying
their minds with society, sport, frivolity of all kinds, or i f
intellectually
disposed~
with science, literature , business .
. . . This,
however, is but to fill a starving belly with huskS.
. . . He may chea t himself for a time -- especially if he be a
strong man -- into the belief that he is nourishing himself
by
denying his natural appetite; but he soon finds he was made f or
some altogether different kind of
~.
11
Too often we .fill
our
poor, hungry souls with the
empty husks of this world's entertainments and amusements,
wi
h
socie~,
strenuous business interests, or even an empty FORM
o~
religion? It doesn't SATISFY. Do you know why?
You were
MADE
.for
an
altogether different kind of
food. You were so made, realize it or not, that you crave real
SPIRITUAL food. Food such as only God can supply.
God is the Creator. God is composed of SPIRIT (John
4:
21~).
"He
giveth to all life, and breath, and all things
. . .. For--rN
HIM
we
live, and move, and have our being. . . ''
(Acta 17 :25,28). - --
Unless you are drinking in of His SPIRIT, thus living
IN HIM, feeding continually upon His spiritual food, you are
denying your natural appetite. And this explains the real cause
of most of the unrest
1
dissatisfaction and unhappiness in the
world!
