More than My Necessary Food

I began this year with the goal of reading through the Bible.  I have done this before, so I knew that in reality the Word would be reading me. Day after day, in old and new covenants, Words of Life draw me more deeply into His presence.  I am seeing and hearing the things that weigh me down: habits, thoughts, tendencies that fill me up, leaving little room for Light.

 

So, I continue to lean into the fast that chose me....  I listen to His voice in the voice of people.  I adjust myself in order to hear and obey...and I seek; I worship; I hunger for Life and Light...I find Him who was there all the time...the One I praise; the One who satisfies like no one and nothing else can.  I long for home...

 

O God, You are My God;

Early will I seek You;

My soul thirsts for You;

My flesh longs for You

In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.

So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,

To see Your power and Your glory.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,

My lips shall praise You.

Thus, will I bless You while I live;

I will lift up my hands in Your name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,

And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

Psalm 63:1-5
