Leviticus 19:1-20:21, Mark 8:11-38, Psalms 42:1-11, Proverbs 10:17
What God said to me – Have you ever been so busy that you didn’t have time to eat or drink? When you are thirsty or hungry you typically don’t perform well or respond well even under ordinary pressures or stresses. It’s like the commercial where someone gets “hangry” and turns into a whole different person. You can get that way spiritually also. Whether you realize it or not, My children thirst and hunger for Me. “I AM” the Living Water and the Bread of Life. You need this time with Me and in My word to strengthen you spiritually and so you can face the day-to-day challenges that come up in your life. When you neglect this time you will find yourself being impatient or unkind or short in your responses to others. This time with Me in not just for devotion and fellowship – it is meant to transform you and to prepare you for day-to-day life. Don’t neglect it.
