BIBLE MEDITATION: “The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek Him: your heart shall live for ever.” Psalm 22:26
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Have you ever wondered why people stumble onto inappropriate websites? Perhaps you even struggle in that area. It’s because they are not feeding on Jesus. They are seeking satisfaction in the evil pleasures of this world, rather than the eternal promises of eternity. Suppose you just finished a wonderful meal and somebody knocks on your front door. You answer it and they hold forth a plate full of stale crumbs saying, “Take this. Eat.” You would say, “No thank you, I don’t need that. I’m already satisfied.” When you feast on the goodness of Jesus, you won’t be down a dark alley eating tin cans with the devil’s billy goats. “And Jesus said unto them, I am the Bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst” (John 6:35).
ACTION POINT: Next time you drive to church, notice the number of people who are not going – pray for them. Ask God to make them thirsty and hungry for Himself.
