Deeper!

Ezekiel 3: 10

“Son of man, let all my words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to them carefully for yourself.”

There are a lot of people these days, who think they are expressing God’s will, by just quoting a Bible verse.

The truth of the Bible is a whole lot more than words…it’s life.

That’s why it’s important to read the Word…listen to the Word, and then let it sink in deeply.

Frankly, most people aren’t interested in going deep. It’s no wonder we don’t have people hearing from God.

We’ve drifted so far from hearing, and allowing the Word to sink in deeply, that when someone appears that really does, they are quickly disposed of.

One day we’ll know the truth about that, then we’ll have it revealed about those who tried to offer deeper thoughts from God, and were turned away.

There are scores of people now days, who are trying to press God’s Word into other people, without first applying it to their own life.

The word to describe those kinds of people, is still “hypocrite”.

In the end, this kind of person who won’t listen and apply God’s truth, is someone who manufactures confusion, not life.

And yet God is inviting us to be one of the few, who will listen, but most are too busy with meaningless stuff.

Very few in the church now days, want to savor and chew on God’s Word.

Maybe that’s why a very small percentage of people, actually attend Bible study or Sunday school anymore…

“Lord God…I think we want this? Whatever blessings and benefits there might be from Your truth, we want Your Words to sink in deeply…Amen.”
