Good
Morning!
I
just want to add a little more to what I was talking about yesterday.... the
fact that we need to continually have a "hunger and thirst"
for God. You know what? There have been times (in the
natural) that I knew I needed to eat, but I just did not have an
"appetite" for food. So I started "asking" The Lord
to increase my appetite, and He did! I can just hear some of you
saying..."I don't need my appetite increased"!
Well, if He can increase my appetite...then He can decrease yours,
if that is what you need! This has gone in a different direction from
what I wanted to say, but I guess somebody needed to hear that. Just
don't come under any "condemnation" about it...the point is God is
able to give each one of us what we need, all we have to do is just
"ask" Him!
So, having
said all that, we can do the same thing about our "spiritual"
appetite! If there are times when you feel "dry" and
"unfulfilled", that is when you need to drink from the well of
Living Waters and eat the Bread of Life.
Psamls
23:5 tells us that The Lord will prepare a "table" for us, even in
the presence of our enemies! I am reminded of an old Hymn....some of you
may know this song. I encourage you to sing it along with me, whether
you know it or not~~~~
COME
AND DINE, THE MASTER CALLETH, COME AND DINE;
YOU
CAN FEAST AT JESUS' TABLE ALL THE TIME!
HE,
WHO FED THE MULTITUDES...TURNED THE WATER INTO WINE,
IS
CALLING, NOW, TO YOU....COME AND DINE!
I
just love this song! The music behind it is so "upbeat"
and "uplifting"! However, even if you can't hear the
"music"...the WORDS can encourage you, because they are an
"invitation" from God to increase your spiritual
"appetite"!
The
Lord has a table prepared for you...He even has a "place card" with
your name on it. So, pull up a chair and "eat and drink"!
You don't have to worry about counting the "calories"...He has
designed a "balanced diet" just for you!
