People with financial understanding are aware of the “time value of money” The texts from the Roman Catholic lectionary today suggest that there is a “time value of faith”. The good soil in the Parable of the Sower, from Luke’s Gospel, takes time to develop and mature. The understanding of the relationship between the spiritual body that Paul refers to and the Divine Presence is something we can only see “as through a glass darkly”. The faith of the spiritual body recognizes the hand of the Divine in many and at times all of the events of life. The abrupt termination of this influence at some point of death is not consistent with the evidence absorbed by the indwelling spirit into the “good soil” as it is maturing within the believer.
