“EMPTY HUSKS!”
Luke 15:15-16
“Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.”
Sometimes I feel as if I repeat things over and over. In a way that is good because it’s always fresh in my mind. In a way it’s bad because people think I’m just getting old and repeating myself.
Once again I look across the room at my birdcage to watch my two parakeets peck away at the seeds I have just given them. Countless times, as I have emptied the seed cup and replaced the husks with new feed, I am reminded of a tragic incident. A friend had just purchased birds for the first time, but they mysteriously died within a few weeks. When he went back to the pet store they determined that the seeds he had fed the birds were nothing more than husks. The birds had opened and eaten the inner part of the seeds but now there was nothing left inside. With nothing left to eat, they starved.
Spiritually, many people are fed nothing but empty husks. Ministers who should be disseminating strong spiritual food are dishing out nothing more than empty husks. They do not even train their people how to find food in God’s Word for themselves. How sad it is that there is a form of godliness, but it is nothing but empty husks!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
