Sometimes I believe that the Lord has a great sense of humor. Being a science major in undergraduate school dealing with the art of language just wasn't my bag. However, as it turns out He has brought into my life several good friends who in large part LOVE words. Argh! Can you stand it? LOL! However as I ponder their love of words and their influence in my life, I have come to appreciate the art of language.
One word that has been on my mind is vo-ra-cious. Voracious an adjective describing an excessive appetite, or someone who is excessively eager... This is a great description of my state of being...How about you? What are you hungry for?
As Christians our lives should reflect this kind of appetite toward spiritual things, moreover Christ Himself. Isn't it ironic that we get busy filling our days with activities that have no eternal value as we struggle to fill ourselves with the most satisfying and nourishing person available (John 14:6)? Instead of heading through the spiritual drive thru for that fast and cheap "happy meal", may we find the real joy and contentment that comes from a real intimate relationship with the Master Himself. This kind of intimacy only comes as we seek Christ with all of our hearts. Several years ago I read a small publication by Robert Boyd Munger that really articulates the meaning and value of the Word ( John 1:1-5) operating in the believer's life. My blogging friends let us be mindful of the importance of making eternal investments in our daily living...may we be voracious Christians!
