“Which of you, if his son asks him for
bread, will give him a stone?”
Matthew 7:9
Actually, there is
one who does that. “Then Jesus was led
up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty
nights, he was hungry. And the tempter
came and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command these stones to
become bread” (Matt 4:1-3).
God has put
eternity in my heart and I am always on a Spiritual Quest. I hunger for things to feed and nourish my
soul while I am on this life long journey.
There are a lot of stones I could turn into bread to satisfy that
hunger. There is a cornucopia of books
filled with words and thoughts of others who are also on the journey I am
on. There are many teachers professing
to hold the spiritual keys to the mysteries and wonders I am searching for.
Throughout my Quest
I have read many books and listened to many teachers and I appreciate the
information I have received throughout the years. But something has changed deep inside of
me. It’s not so much the information I
want anymore. I desire the inspiration,
that quickening of soul and spirit that comes directly from the voice of God,
in his handiwork (Psalm 19:1), and in his Son (Matthew 17:5). That alone is what truly quenches my hunger
and my thirst.
“I am the bread of life;
Whoever comes to me shall not hunger,
And
whoever believes in me shall never thirst”
(John 6:35).
