"How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your ...light we see light." Psalm 36:5-9 (NIV)
"Why does God allow us to spend so much of life in the heat of battle? Because He never meant for us to sip His Spirit like a proper cup of tea. He meant for us to hold our sweating heads over the fountain and lap up His life with unquenchable thirst." Beth Moore, Praying God's Word
I totally agree with Beth. It seems I can't be away from the Word of God for even one day. Battles flare up everywhere. I stay thirsty for His Spirit. I require Him as much as I require daily bread--and the damage I do when I'm not filled...I just thank God that He forgives my sins and lets me try again. "His mercies are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness." (Lam. 3:23)
