Into the depths
As a SCUBA diver, you usually have to wait in line for others to get back onto the boat. Instead of bobbing on the surface swallowing seawater and getting seasick, I will usually put my regulator back in my mouth and dive down a few feet. Here the water is calm. The noise is muffled and I can relax in comfort while I wait.
However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"
But God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
1 Cor 2:10
Deep is the dwelling place of God
Deep is the gift of discipline
The same analogy can be used between snorklers and SCUBA divers. Both can say they saw the reef, yet their experiences are vastly different.
Dont be satisfied with Sunday church or even Bible study groups. Dive deep into the depths of God. It takes more training and hard work to become a Diver, but the rewards are beyond anything you could have imagined.

thank you for the reminder... spirituality and religion should be more to me than social activities and a weekly meeting... it should be something intensely personal that is only facilitated by those other things...
cool analogy. i really liked it. it really fit.
It takes a lot of work ... and that's my problem. I'm so lazy.
But when you get a glimpse of God down there in the deep, you want more.
