Hold tight to the moment. Don't let it slip or return to you void. In Mark 4, Jesus gives a parable (a lesson) that believers should study regularly, after getting a dose of God and positive array of his fuel for life. Why? Because when the feelings are gone– it's gone gone. Then like the song, you'll be left singing, "Bring back that loving feeling."
[Mark 4: 13-23 The Message Translation] "Do
you see how this story works? All my stories work this way. "The farmer plants
the Word. Some people are like the seed that falls on the hardened soil of the
road. No sooner do they hear the Word than Satan snatches away what has been
planted in them. And some are like the seed that lands in the gravel. When they
first hear the Word, they respond with great enthusiasm. But there is such
shallow soil of character that when the emotions wear off and some difficulty
arrives, there is nothing to show for it. "The seed cast in the weeds represents
the ones who hear the kingdom news but are overwhelmed with worries about all
the things they have to do and all the things they want to get. The stress
strangles what they heard, and nothing comes of it. "But the seed planted in the
good earth represents those who hear the Word, embrace it, and produce a harvest
beyond their wildest dreams." Jesus went on: "Does anyone bring a lamp home and
put it under a washtub or beneath the bed? Don't you put it up on a table or on
the mantel? We're not keeping secrets, we're telling them; we're not hiding
things, we're bringing them out into the open. "Are you listening to this?
Really listening?"
Point 1: God has a positive fix for your drama-The Word. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [Hebrews 4:12]
Stay encouraged in the heavy– and move Forward
