Satisfied…or not.
“the doctrine of justification by faith - a biblical truth, and a blessed releif from sterile legalism and unavailing self-effort - has in our time fallen into evil company and been interpreted by many in such a manner as actually to bar men from the knowledge of God. The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be “received” without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is “saved,” but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and is encouraged to be content with little.” -A.W.Tozer
How tragic it is when we, Christians, become content with LITTLE of Him. We spend countless hours on our computers, watching tv and movies, talking with our friends, going to class, playing games, cooking, cleaning, sleeping, showering….and yet…spend 10 minutes? a half hour MAYBE…with our Savior. Yeah we’ve heard this before, spend time with God, pray, etc etc but never before have I felt a longing for more, a desire for more and such dissatisfaction in my relationship with Christ as I do now! I want more, I long for more. I have a goal to spend an hour a day just reading my bible…and when I think of that hour it suddenly doesn’t seem like enough and I want more before I’ve even had the hour. I am resolving to never be content with little in my relationship with the Lord because there will ALWAYS be more, and the more I have…the more I want and the more I want….the more I know I will get, until I reach my final destination and am with Him forever.
Are you satisfied with little?
