Jan 24th, 2023: Feeling Empty?

 

We strive for success daily.

Yet, we feel so empty.

We think we are brave.

We then discover we dug for ourselves a soulless cave.

Our hearts are numb.

We are in an emotional slump.

We sit and listen to our mindless thoughts.

God is near and so far in our distraught.

Our emptiness happens because of our barren spirit.

We see nothing ahead but a hollow pit.

We seek fulfillment via our worldly chase.

We forget the truth of the Empty Grave.

From that Grave, God grants us a gateway.

To escape the darkness of the cave so we can follow His way.

Luke 24: 1-9

"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest."
