Oh, what Satan will do to divert me from reading God’s word and living a life in Jesus’ Name! My best intentions were to be reading Psalms every day, work in the book of John using the book, Just Give Me Jesus, and post on this blog 4 times a week!
Well, it hasn’t been happnin’…and I can come up with all sorts of reasons why and justify myself but, plain and simple, it is Satan and I am letting him do it! Lord, today I pray to get back on track AND I pray for a hedge of protection around me and my family!
Back to business…I shared earlier this week about WMF day at our AFLC annual conference from Psalm 37:3-6. Verse 3 says: “Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness…”. There is a footnote for “cultivate” which says that could mean “feed securely” or “feed on His faithfulness”. God brought that to mind when I had a bout of heartburn the other night. I couldn’t lay down and 
go to sleep because it would “burn” more. When I don’t eat right, I get heartburn, when I eat right I can be secure in the fact that I won’t have any unpleasant aftereffects. When I cultivate or feed on His faithfulness, things go much better and I have the promises given in verses 4-6.
Psalm 34:8-10 says it well:
“O taste and see that the LORD is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
O fear the LORD, you His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is no want.
The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing.”
Did you see the promises there for tasting, I prefer to think of it as feasting, in the LORD? I will be blessed and have no want of any good thing! WOW!!!
LORD, today, I pray that I may feast in you regularly that I may claim your promises of not being in want of any good thing! Amen and amen!
