“The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied.”
Proverbs 14:14
I believe the most miserable man or woman on earth is those who are born again but are living far from God and deeply in the things of this world. The world and its ways are both enticing and inviting but in the end, the world promises much but has no real return to speak of. Sin is a lot like quicksand, the more active one is in it the further they will sink. The backslider is filled with his own ways and desires, which are not the Lord’s ways and are far from what the Lord desires for him or her, and therein lays the source of the very real problem.
The one who hungers for the things of God will be satisfied by the things of God. The Word of God is heavenly nourishment for this earthly journey that the Christian is on. Satisfaction in the here and now will be plentiful as we feed on God’s Word and as we desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit. True satisfaction will be found in a deep abiding desire to fellowship with the Lord. We must make it a want and a desire to do so.
What we sow is what will grow. What table have you been eating off of? Are you being nourished by that which is of heaven or are you taking in the empty calories of the world’s junk food? If you have backslidden away from Christ come back to Him. There is no fellowship in this world that compares to the fellowship that the believer can have with Christ Jesus.
