Hard Saying
SonLight Daily Devotional Daily Devotional for February 17

1 Thessalonians 2:13 "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."

One major problem is that people come to church in the flesh: human thoughts, human viewpoints. They are not walking in the Spirit. They sit in church hearing words, but to them they are only words from a man. They wonder why the message falls flat on the floor. They wonder why their life in Christianity is hard or dead. They walk by sight, judging every thing they hear or see in the flesh.

These people are good and kind. They will help others, but in reality they are the ones that need the most help. They are always overwhelmed with the Bible and its hard sayings. They live in their own understanding, only trusting in what they know, so the word of God mostly bothers them.

The Christian that receives the word of God by faith slowly but ever so slowly will grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour. They enter into the house of the Lord with gladness, expecting a blessing from God that day. They love the word of God above their necessary food. They come hungry and thirsty to hear life and to drink the water that refreshes them.
