In one of the more colourful pieces of scripture, Proverbs 26:11 says: "As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly." I don't know about you, but I do this much too often - abandoning the pure, nourishing food of life for the regurgitated refuse of this world. What I long for and pray for is an intense craving for the life that God offers me - life and life more abundant (John 10:10). God is answering that prayer. Too slowly for my impatient heart sometimes (OK most of the time), but He is answering it. Make it your prayer too.
Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace to you today,
Bruce
Father, whet our appetite for spiritual food that brings sustenance, growth and experience as we partake of the Bread of Life.
May our hearts hunger for the wonderful promises, provisions, and principles revealed throughout Your Holy Scripture.
As we regularly taste of these nourishing nuggets we will become mature and be strengthened so that we can trust You in times of famine.
Keep us tasting and keep us trusting.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
