1 Corinthians 2:14
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit
of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them
because they are spiritually discerned.
Check out the news.
The foolishness of carnal men and women rejecting the things of the
Spirit of God are rampant in our society.
Carnal men and women look upon the things in the Bible as absurd and
contrary to reason. They find the truths
in God's Holy Word to be weak and distasteful.
They are quick to ridicule anything having to do with Jesus and delight
in bashing anyone who stands up for their Christian beliefs.
It is easy to see why Jesus said that it was so hard for the
rich man to get into heaven. In his
comfort, the rich man feels no need for a Savior. The rich man finds all of his satisfaction
from the things of the world.
Unfortunately for the rich man, he will soon enough find out that the
cravings of his flesh will never be satisfied.
His flesh will always demand more than he is ultimately able to attain.
Fortunately for all of us, the Creator placed a void in our
hearts that can only be completely and perfectly filled by Jesus. Nothing of the flesh can bring the
satisfaction that is derived from fulfilling the spiritual need that is within
us. If we will recognize the folly in our carnal ways and surrender to Jesus
Christ as our Savior, we will find satisfaction far beyond anything the earth
promises or can deliver. Only when we
are inspired by the Holy Spirit to submit to the governance of the King of
Kings, and not to the kings of the earth, will we receive the fullness of life
that Almighty God planned for us.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for creating a void in our
hearts that only You can fill. We bless
the name of Jesus who died for our sins so that we can be deemed worthy to
become His disciples and live under His Lordship. We pray, Lord, for the strength and the
wisdom to see the folly in the things of the earth. May we live in the fullness of Jesus Christ,
Our Lord, Our Master and Our King. We
ask all these things in His Precious Name.
