In Tune

I remember as a child, my mother would listen to the radio constantly. And many times I would find comfort in the songs that played; they became a therapy for me. And there would be times where the antenna would have to be adjusted. And just like us, sometimes we get out of tune with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and we have to be retuned so we can be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. But we grieve. We find ourselves grieving and missing the portion that God has for us. Psalms 73:26 says, 'My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.' But if we are grieving what God has given us, pushing it back because it may be uncomfortable, we may never find ourselves in tune. Because, like anything, if you miss a portion, you miss a lot. If you miss a portion of a movie or a song, you've missed something, and it doesn't make sense. But when we miss God's portion, it's because we have grieved the Holy Spirit. And that brings me to my second point: we don't seek. The book of Jeremiah 29:13 says, 'You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.' But we have to seek Him in order to be in tune. Billy Graham said, 'The sweet, sweet spirit will constantly be found if we seek it.' Then we adjust. In order to adjust our spiritual antennas, we have to simply dive into the Word of God.
