Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

I pray this finds you well. We have had another busy but rewarding week here in Arizona. Thanks again for keeping us in your prayers. I did receive a couple of phone calls and emails this ... they sure encourage me to continue the work the Lord has led us to. You don't know what your calls and emails do for us.

Yesterday someone sent me an email on hunger with pictures of children so skinny you could see their bones. Then I came upon this devotional below. It brought home a tremendous message and got me thinking: How important is God's Word to us? We eat everyday. Do we read and study God's word every day? I preached Sunday and encouraged us to "go and tell" but to do that we need to be in God's Word first. Ask Him where and who to visit.

I pray this devotional touches you as it did me. My prayer is that God will use this today in our lives.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on,
Don

Hunger for the Word of God
“I rejoice at Thy Word.” Psalm 119:162
Job said, “I have esteemed the words of H
is mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12).
When God’s Word is as important to you as your physical food, then you’re going to start to grow in your Christian life.
I wonder if one day the dust on our Bibles is not going to testify against us. The following poetic lines sober my heart: “These hath God married and no man shall part, dust on the Bible and drought on the heart.”
Oh, that we would hunger for the Word of God!
Fast from one meal today. Sense just a touch of the hunger our hearts are to have for the Word of God, and remember to pray for those who need the pure milk of His Word!
