“The secret of spiritual success is a hunger that persists…It is an awful condition to be satisfied with one’s spiritual attainments…God was and is looking for hungry, thirsty people.”
― Smith Wigglesworth
Smith Wigglesworth once stated that he was never without the Bible on his person. It was his only reading material. He read it, studied it, prayed it and talked about it constantly. As he stated above, his secret was his hunger for more of God which led to his total absorption in the Scriptures.
Too many people are content with their degree of spirituality, not realizing that there is NO limit to the level of spiritual growth that can be attained, nor the amount of guidance and wisdom that is lying hidden under the surface. This hidden treasure is only available to the hungry seeker who knows that, no matter the degree of insight that he possesses, the surface has hardly been scratched.
We are complacent in our ‘theological boxes’, unwilling to expand our box and broaden our horizons to discover the hidden riches of the Kingdom of God.
