RUNNING AWAY FROM LIFE

The secular world clamors daily with solutions to all our problems. Call this number and all your financial difficulties will vanish, take this pill, not the other one, and depression and fear become a thing of the past, there is even a pill to cut down on bathroom trips and it seems that all middle aged men need to take a little something in order to be intimate, if the number and frequency of ads is any indication. Do not misunderstand, all of these things have their place, it is the order of approach that is at question. When we began living on the Spiritual Basis, we stopped “working” on our lives or ourselves. Today when trouble raises its head instead of tackling it head on, going to work on it, trying to find solutions and answers on our own, we turn to God and seek His help and direction first. We accomplish this by realizing the Presence of God as our first step, then whatever action indicated will be taken in the light of Gods love. To Live on the Spiritual Basis means we have turned our will and our lives over to the care of God, it doesn’t mean that we have withdrawn from life or eschew the secular, since Living on the Spiritual Basis is in truth the road less traveled. To quote an old Hebrew National hotdog commercial: “We answer to a higher authority.”
