10 And now behold, I have brought the first of the produce of the ground which You, Lord have given me. Then you shall set it before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God;
11 and you, the Levite, and the stranger who is among you shall rejoice in all the good which the Lord your God has given you and your household.
Deuteronomy 26:10-11
Often the Church has banged away negatively at evils without reminding us that God is tremendously interested in our finding a satisfying way of life here and now. We Christians have talked so much of the negative side of Christian experience that we have forgotten to emphasize the positive, joyous, thrilling, and victorious experience of daily fellowship with Christ. God declared that things will not satisfy. God satisfies! This is the secret of soul-satisfaction: Let your soul delight itself in fatness. Remove the obstructions, tear down the barriers, and let your soul find the fulfillment of its deepest longings in fellowship with God.
