Good Food

Darrel and I love to go to unique restaurants - when we are on a trip, we look for something out of the ordinary. Not necessarily a "chain" restaurant - sometimes we look for the little "dives" which turn out to be the best places. Today I simply want to encourage you to feast on some good food - God's word. Wednesday night Bible study has been studying a series of scriptures on various topics that affect our lives. As I have been preparing for tonight's lesson and the new course we are going to take with these scriptures, I am struck by the awesomeness of God's word. In all the wishy-washy, shifting sand of our times, one thing stands strong and sure - enduring the test of time - God's word. I was visiting with one of our girls last Sunday about finding God's path for us to walk. How do we do it? Well, scripture tells us that God's word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. As we become practiced in hearing God's voice speak to us through His word, we will find that power to live our lives victoriously - the same power that raised Jesus from the dead! Resurrection power in us - how wonderful!

Today I want to encourage you to come away from the "fast-food-chain" junk that assaults our minds and hearts - turn off the television, the computer, the radio, whatever. Instead of blog-surfing today, find a quiet place and sit down at the table of the King of Kings. Dive into His word and find those rare jewels and nuggets of wisdom. Let His word shine a light on your path - ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate each step you should take. Of this I am sure - when we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. He's waiting with baited breath to spend some intimate, quality (& quantity) time with you! Open your Bible, strap on your feed bag, and chow down!

I love you all - have an awesome day!
