Most everyone knows how to “get into” the things of the flesh. We have experienced the fact that desires in life often just drop into our lap, and once we desire something, we hunger and crave it. We seek and pursue it. We even invest time and effort into acquiring it. Yet, if it is not from God but from the world, and once acquired, there is usually no lasting joy, peace, or comfort. Sometimes it even causes pain.
So wouldn’t it be better to, first of all, acquire a taste or a desire for what the Lord desires before we “get into it?” Then we can place our efforts into hungering, craving, seeking, pursuing, investing, and acquiring what will actually end up providing contentment, joy, peace, and hope.
