One need no longer go into the “…far country” to feed on husks. A person has only to travel a short distance across town to any one of several churches to find a plentiful supply of this non-nutritious food. Stacks of it can also be found hoarded in Christian schools and book stores. A husk, (or shuck, as my Kentucky grandmother used to call it) is the dry covering, or outside shell, of an ear of corn.
It seems many ministries today are attempting to feed God’s people with a diet of externals. But feeding on nothing other than outward husks only leads to tastelessness or bitterness. And there is no incentive to digest either. Husks may satisfy those who live in a pig sty, but never sheep who long for green pastures. Substance always takes precedence over form.
When one comes hungry to “The Father’s house,” he expects, “…corn from heaven,” not dry husks from the prodigal’s place.
