Look! I stand at the door and knock. If
you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a
meal together. — Revelation 3:14
Do you feel like your life is being lived in fast-forward or that
your spiritual food taste like bad fast food when you're craving a good
meal? It may be that we are starving our soul and feeding our spirit
artificial faith! I can remember many years of committing to anything
and everything that was asked of me—and on top of that list of
commitments was my own personal unrealistic list. Being still was never
on my list. I was raised with a father who was a mover and motivator.
Being still was looked at as lazy in my driven Jewish family. Because I
did not know how to be still, I lived every day overstressed and
overcommitted. Being still is not something many of us have mastered. We
feel like we have too much to do to stop and spend time with God. Even
those of us in ministry can become so focused on what we want to conquer
for God, we forget to go to God and get refreshed. We underestimate the
power of being still in His presence and dining with our Savior.
God's Letter to You
I believe if The Lord was going to write you a personal letter about battles this life brings it may read like this....
My Child,
I am knocking at the door of your heart and hoping you will dine
with me. If you will open the door I will come in. I prepared a feast
for you my beloved. Will you accept my invitation? I long to feed your
hungry soul until you are completely satisfied. Let your prince come in
and nourish your spirit, your mind and your body. I am the only one who
truly can.
Love,
Your Prince & Saviour
