God provides for the animals—but they do not sit back passively, waiting for food to drop in front of them. God asks us, too, to be involved in the process of feeding our spiritual life—to earnestly seek God’s presence through spiritual practices like Bible reading, prayer and regular worship.
* Mark Twain once said he didn’t know why Christians wanted to spend eternity in heaven when they could barely stand to spend one hour a week in church! How does your heart respond to being in God’s house? What might increase your delight in worship and praise? [One idea: consider arriving 5-10 minutes early for worship, so that you can prepare your heart and mind.]
* Do you find that Bible reading, prayer and worship strengthen you spiritually? If so, how do you experience that strength? If not, how might you change your attitudes, or the ways in which you practice these things, so that they could be a greater source of strength?
