Hello ,
Have you ever wanted something so badly that you could hardly wait to get it?
You may have heard the story of Socrates being approached by a young man who wanted to be mentored by the great philosopher. Socrates took the teen to a body of water and walked out into the waves.
"What do you seek?" Socrates asked. "I seek wisdom." replied the young man.
Socrates put his strong hand on the head of the young man and pushed him under the water, holding him there for a few seconds before letting him return to the surface.
"What do you seek?" implored Socrates. "I seek wisdom." sputtered the young man.
Again Socrates pushed the boy's head under the water, holding it there for a very long time as the young man struggled. He finally brought the teen to the surface.
"What do you seek?" pleaded Socrates. "I seek air!" the young man said while sucking in a long breath. "When you seek wisdom as you now seek air, you will have wisdom." replied Socrates.
If God is merely a passing thought in our daily lives, can we ever really truly know Him? It's something to ponder as we prepare to embark on another day of our journey through this life!
Have a great day and God bless!
