MY HEART AND MY FLESH

Psalm 84:2 (NKJV) 2 My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
      Hunger drives the world to seek physical satisfaction, what drives the soul to seek spiritual fulfillment? How can I know if I am hungry for the things of God, I am so glad you asked?
      Within the depths of the human being there is a drive to know our maker, many attribute that longing to the search for significance, this however is too broad a term, and leads to dead ends. God has made simple our search, He says in Matthew 11:28 (NKJV), Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, and in Hebrews 4:3 (NKJV) For we who have believed do enter that rest..., the entering into God's rest is where we find the trouble.
      Clouded is the truth that God has made a way for all to enter in, simple are the facts that lead to spiritual  filling, just as the body needs food to sustain it, the soul needs food to maintain its relationship to God. Jesus made that way possible by paying ahead of time the price for the spiritual food we need. He went into the restaurant of God's diner and paid the bill so we could dine on His resources. He simply asked us to believe go in sit down and receive, the plate is overflowing with God's delicacies and we only have to eat.
     Silly, I know, but it is that easy and Jesus has paid the price, so why don't you say to Him, I have lived too long my way, I am ready to eat at your table, will You forgive me and come into my life? That is so easy because it cost God so much. Does your soul long for God, it should, cry out to God?
Heavenly Father, let my spirit cry to You who will bring refreshing, and filling. Thank You, for all you have done for me, let my every breath be in seeking Your will for my life, may my heart even my flesh cry out to You. Amen
