How Hungry Are You?

Today’s Scripture Readings:
OT: Isaiah 17-18
NT: Acts 8
W&W: Proverbs 16

Today’s Reflection:
In today’s Worship and Wisdom section of scripture reading, we find Proverbs 16.26: “The laborer’s appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on.” Pray with me today for a holy hunger:

“O Holy Hunger, stir in my soul! God, make me hungry for…

1. You. Draw me to your presence in worship, prayer, holiness and love. As the deer pants for water, so my soul pants for you, O God!
2. Souls. Send me to the harvest – with seed and tears – that I may return to you with songs of joy carrying sheaves with me.
3. Righteousness. May I know the blessed fullness that comes from hungering and thirsting for your righteousness. I have faith in your mercy, in your blood. I want to live the Christ-life.
4. Your Word. Fill me with the Bread of heaven! Speak to me through the Bible and grant me knowledge and obedience.

May our spiritual appetites work for us, driving us on! Have a great weekend!

This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
1 John 1.4-5: We write this to make our joy complete. This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
