I Love My Church - Day 7

I like to eat.  Eating is a good thing.  I find it can be very fulfilling, especially when I'm hungry.  What satisfies your tummy when you are hungry?

What about the soul?  How do we satisfy the soul?  Since birth, there is a hunger in the soul that many feel but have no idea how to satisfy.  So we satisfy it with sexual addictions, food addictions, beverage addictions, material addictions, adrenaline fixes, you name it.  We are trying to find something that will satisfy the soul.

There is only one place where you can find satisfaction for the soul, it is in God's Word, the Bible.

God told the people of Israel to remember He is the provider and sustainer in life.  They will find satisfaction for the soul in Him.  Read about it in Deuteronomy 8 or click to view http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%208&version=NIV (Click back arrow on web browser to return)

"Man doesn't live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord."  God's words will satisfy the soul.  Where do we find His words?  We find in the age old book that has stood the test of time; the Bible.  We find satisfaction as we read and obey His words.

You've read one chapter today already.  Make that a habit of yours to read a passage or chapter every day.  You can reach for the protein bar and have your tummy filled.  Reach for the Soul satisfaction bar found in God's word and satisfy the soul.

As you close: Thank God for His Word, the Bible.  Thank God it is trustworthy and life giving.  Ask God for consistency in reading it.

God Bless!
