Life as a River
"Shower or Tub?"

Picture
Let me ask you a question. Do you Shower or Do you Soak?  If you are like me, it is always a shower. We have been in our present house going on 3 years. We have a great jetted tub, yet I have not even turned on the water to see if it works, much less think of getting into it for a good soak.

I was hit with this thought today as it applies to my approach to scripture; to the time I spend in conversation with the Lord; to my prayer life; well to my life in general. 

I must confess that I approach all of these much as I do the shower. Get in, get cleaned, and get on with 'the important' things of the day.  But wait a minute.... (okay, just a minute, because I have things to do)         What do you do with Philippians 4:8? 

"Finally, brethren,whatever things are true,whatever things are noble,whatever things are just,whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely,whatever things are of good report,if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things."
I honestly haven't done much meditating in the shower lately, have you?  Meditating takes time. Like soaking in the tub. I am not just sprinkling a little of God's truth and direction on my life as I take a quick 'Spiritual Shower". But what a difference it would make if I intentionally took a Spiritual Tub Soaking - Filling that 'spiritual tub' with all of the truth of Gods word, the presence of the Holy Spirit and then meditating (SOAKING)  in it's encouragement, it's joy, it's direction, it's peace, it's hope, it's admonitions, and, and, and!



Will you join me in taking a Spiritual Tub Soaking?
