Today's meditation is taken from:
THE LAW OF LIFE
By Chip Brogden

http://www.theschoolofchrist.org/articles/law.html

"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

Those who hunger and thirst after Righteousness - Christ - will be filled. Thus, the one who is filled is never hungry or thirsty. So on the one hand I want to know the Lord and my desire for Him increases day by day; but it is not the desperate search of a hungry or thirsty man who is fainting and wasting away. I am full of Him because He fills me. There is my "Life, and Life more abundantly." My Life is not in what He gives me, but in Who He is.

The ones who do not know this are the ones who have to run all over the world looking for a spiritual experience, the next move of God, or a more powerful "anointing". They are the ones who simply MUST be inside a church building once or twice a week, and if they miss one service they immediately become depressed or backslidden. How is this possible? Because they have been taught that Life is church attendance, or power, or anointing, or feeling God move upon them in a tangible way. But if this were so then they would not need to be constantly filled and refilled.
