PROFOUND

When something is profound it is often a truth hidden deep beneath the obvious. And some people never can find that type of meaning in things.

They will see it when somebody else points it out, but not if looking themselves. Such is the nature of life.

Such truths always leave us other than appreciative of their meaning in the ordinary nature of life. Partly because we just might not feel inclined to want to dig that deep into some aspects. There are simply too many things in life that fall under the category of what we do out of necessity. So there isn't necessarily much motivation to dig very deep into their origins or meaning.

Instead we mill through each moment doing what we can to gleam what works for us. Which is never always quite enough time for the kind of concentration to inspire us to figure out every metaphor life offers.

So we just mosey along at times, stopping when the moment requires for us figure out the significance of something. Which can truly stun at times when we do stop to sort of smell the roses.

All of which is the normal process of life. However, when it affects us spiritually it matters in a different way.

For with God there are the elements of profound that can truly inspire our faith. They can be details that can touch on such a wonderful level.

To be able to embrace them requires the power of the holy spirit too. One can not find see the things of God without his spirit's empowering.

You don't have to be a pastor for this to happen. But it still has to be at the Lord's empowering.

The other problem is that we might always want to hear what God has to say. His truths aren't based upon our needs or wants.

Some will always try to conform it though. They will do what they can to try and make it according to their own values.

And if it in anyway contradicts what we want then we often will resist listening. Which only makes things worse.

But that is a matter of human response and it has always been a problem for us. A point of difficulty that will tax us in due season.

Hopefully God will only have to nudge to some degree to get us to embrace it.
