DEPRESSED...ME?

I had to start my morning with a confession that I let depression get the best of me - I'm like the old guy who sits down thirsty just beyond reach of a refreshing cool bottle of water and then feels sorry for himself because he's thirsty. "My God shall supply all your need" is coursing through my mind and the emphasis is on "God" - if I would just have sense enough to pick up HIS WORD!

Have you ever notice that reading God's Word is just like manna? It only lasts from sun up to sun down? This "evening and morning" rhythm of our lives is such a mystery to me - but it is absolute law in my spiritual needs. If I go 2 or 3 days without letting God "talk to me" through His Word, I'm toast!

The spiritual life is such a dichotomy - if I just run around and go to church and "fellowship" I am gutted like a fish inside and feel empty. Spending time ALONE with Jesus and HIS WORD is paramount to LIFE.

Just thinking.
