Oh What A Relief It Is!

The old ad Alka Seltzer used to put out said, "Plop, plop, fiz, fiz. Oh what a relief it is!" I had an upset stomach yesterday and took some Alka Seltzer. It worked well. That was in the physical realm of life. There are days that I have an upset spirit within me and Alka Seltzer can't do a thing to help that. I have found that God's Word is the relief that I need on those days when my spirit is churning and gurgling! You know what I mean. Sometimes the problem is something I have caused myself. Sometimes the problem comes from something someone else has said or done. Sometimes the problem is that I have just been too long away from the Word of God and I am not connecting with His Spirit.

God's Word is the Alka Seltzer for spiritual unsettling. Plop down away from everything and everyone a couple of times a day and drop a couple of times of Bible reading into your cup of life. Watch it bubble up! But I have to warn you. Sometimes the taste of the Alka Seltzer is so repulsive that I want to pour it down the sink before drinking it. It is only going to work when you get it in you! God's Word is the same way. Sometimes what he is telling us to do is repulsive to what we want to hear. When we read it, we want to pour it down the sink instead of letting it work in our lives. Don't pour! Drink! It will do you good and you will feel better!!
