Yesterday I watched a video of a sermon given by a former
colleague, Loren Van Woudenberg. http://player.vimeo.com/video/102537936 In the
sermon he spoke of immersing oneself in God to the point where one has intimate
knowledge of him and can clearly hear his voice. It brought back memories of when I experienced
that in my own life and, as I listened, I realized that I no longer seek after God
with the same intensity I once did. I wept
as I realized what I have been missing over the last few years.
He spoke of fasting from one’s fast pace of life so that one
can hear God whispering and I remembered a time when I would turn off the radio
in my car so that I could rehearse the passages of scripture I had
memorized. Alas, those days have gone
and my time is now consumed with social media, surfing the Internet and
watching television. Earlier this year I
gave up social media for Lent. I think
it is time to discipline myself and spend more time with God. I need to fast from fast.
