These are places where many have seemingly found their rest and security. The dwelling place of the Lord is something that very few seek and consequently very few find it. To find this dwelling place of the Lord is like finding the treasure in the field. Yet, the one who seeks this treasure will find it. Unfortunately, many become blind by the things of this world.
Countless attachments cloud the eyes of the soul.
Many start on this journey. The hunger and thirst, like the Israelites in the wilderness, is great. The flesh seeks immediate fulfillment. The soul is aware that even if it tasted the fruits of the flesh it would not be satisfied. Therefore it is patient and continues its search for the everlasting treasure.
