Lord, give us a hunger and thirst for You and Your righteousness. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day." ~ E. M. Bounds

Upon awakening, the desire for the Lord’s help and guidance begins. It’s a must, or I’m relying on my own will and that’s a no-go. Being a husband, dad, having a teenager with Down syndrome, being an employee, paying bills, etc., can be exhausting. With Jesus and His living water and bread of life, I can push through the day.😊

As Brandon was saying we need to eat and drink at the Lord’s table regularly. The Apostle Paul told us in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. Through our prayers, our study of Gods Word, sharing of His greatness and helping others we eat and drink at His table all the time. When we stop doing these things we loose out on that life sustaining spiritual food and drink that we need so badly as Christians.

Not only do I need to eat from the word of God but I need to eat correctly. Not just when I’m worn down but all the time. I need my morning breakfast of readings and writing time before setting out for the day. I need my quiet time in the evening to reflect on my day and those little moments of Gods light bursting in to say hey yo check it out the Father is omnipresent. I need that sustenance in my life always. Every now and again I get a little lazy and maybe I don’t put the effort into my morning reading/writing time and I just “check the box” a few of those in a row and I find myself in a weird state of mind. A few more of those in a row and I start to drift a lot farther and begin wondering what’s the point of it all and ego and the focus shifts back towards me and what I want. The point is for me to not be so focused on myself and wants that I get blinded to see God work all around me. When I get wrapped in myself and forget to “eat” I can’t see Gods work and I feel disconnected from His light. It’s a yucky place and thankfully I know it’s not a bunch of hoops to jump back to God. It’s just simply saying sorry and getting back to work for God. Then like whoosh of wind I feel Gods love wash over me once more. Thank You for being patient with me God and always loving me and always loving everyone of us. I love You God amen 🙏

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:13 NKJV

309/365: Refill Your Life with Living Water

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." ~ Matthew 5: 6

Our bodies require food and water... without them, we die. When hunger overtakes us and our mouths are parched, nothing else matters but satisfying those basic needs of life.

Our soul is like that. When we miss our time with God and ignore the basic food of faith we can run the risk of killing our righteousness and dimming our faith. We die inside and rot with sin.

When your soul is thristy and your life feels hungry for something more fulfilling. Seek God daily through prayer, gratitude, and scripture...you will be fed and full.

In a season of doubt and frustration? In a patch of worry and axiety? Dig into God's word and pray. You will be re-filled.
