Have you been downtown on a Saturday night lately? Or any night of the week? Have you seen the late-night prowl? The look in people's eyes when they see the object of their desire pass by? How do you account for this? A friend of mine articulated it perfectly- They want....what they want.....when they want it…I agree with his summation and I’ve been thinking a lot about it.
This phenomenon and an article I read recently from Six Stone Jars are pointing to something that is desperately lacking in our culture, an understanding of God’s hand in our lives and His desire for our good.
God wants our freedom, our happiness, and ultimately for us to be set apart for Him.
Even though He has promised us a feast we walk around begging and telling those we encounter that we have nothing to eat. We are a broken and wandering people. So confused we don’t even know what will satisfy us, we just know we are starving. But God knows. He knows what we need. He also knows when. And how. And His understanding of the situation is far more accurate than our own.
It’s time to start living like children with a loving Father. I, for one, am sick of begging. Especially because I’ve been promised a feast and He who promised is good for it.
