Be
still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be
exalted in the earth.

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
History
tells me it has been true! Faith trusts it will be true eternally! Reverent
silences, a pause in the hectic rush of our lives, reminds us that it is true
today.
MY PRAYER...
O
Father in heaven, may your name be revered and held holy in my life and my
world today. Your will be done, your reign on earth come with power and might
and finality, just as it has already come in heaven. Through Jesus I pray.
Amen.
SPIRITUAL
SATISFACTION
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled”
(Matthew
5:6, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from
Joel and Victoria
In
the natural, what do you do when you’re hungry and just not sure what will
satisfy you? You may try to think of what to eat, but maybe you’re not sure
what will hit the spot. Spiritual hunger works the same way. You may feel a
restlessness or unsettledness, but you can’t quite figure out what will satisfy
it. You may try to fill that need with other things — food, addictions, people
— but only God can fill that hunger.
Today’s
verse tells us what will fill that hunger in our soul — righteousness. When you
hunger and thirst for righteousness, which is God’s way of doing things, you
will be spiritually satisfied. But just like you have to take time to eat in
the natural, you have to take time to “eat” or partake of God’s righteousness.
Every day, He has a table of blessing set for you. When you spend time in
prayer, worship and reading His Word, you are partaking of His righteousness.
You are filling your soul. The more time you spend with Him, the more He will
fill you and satisfy your hunger all the days of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly
Father, thank You for the promise to fill my hunger. I open my heart to You and
ask that You draw me by Your Spirit. Teach me to walk in Your ways of
righteousness that I may honor and serve You all the days of my life. I bless
Your name today in Jesus’ name. Amen.
