Eyes That See, And A Heart That Knows

Greetings Reader. If you have not fed directly from the Bread from Heaven, He who came down from Heaven to give life to the world, true life (which is knowing [relating foundationally from and with] God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ), then may you put yourself directly at His table before day's end. For even Heavenly crumbs gathered with true desire nourish the soul in ways earthly and natural feasts can never comprehend nor supply. Nature can only supply what perishes. Grace feeds that which is everlasting. What is truest of you, Christian, is that which is of God in you. Cherish, nurture, prize, and feed what is of God in your life.

Meditate on the following Psalms. As you read, discern in your heart and conscience who you are. Take note of God's gift of revealing you to your self. He is there to meet you.

Ps 106:1 Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Ps 107:1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

Ps 106:13 They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel, 14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert. 15 And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

24 Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His word, 25 But complained in their tents, and did not heed the voice of the LORD.

Ps 107:8 Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! 9 For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.

39 When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow, 40 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way; 41 Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction, and makes their families like a flock. 42 The righteous see it and rejoice, and all iniquity stops its mouth. 43 Whoever is wise will observe these things, and they will understand the loving kindness of the LORD.

Beloved in Christ, I have no counsel for you from the above passages. It is there if you have eyes to see and a knowing heart. God Himself is sufficient to guide your heart by His Spirit and Word. You may truly desire Him above all. Yet, perhaps you know in your heart that you do not desire Him above all but desire what is beneath Him and desire what He has created over that which is uncreated. God Himself will reveal that to an honest heart that is broken of its misplaced wants. When you leave this earth for Heaven and God Himself, you will carry no earthly prize with you.

Do not end this earthly day malnourished in soul because you chose to feed from earthly tables to the exclusion of Heavenly feasts. Your soul knows the difference.
