Daily bread

There is nothing more restoring, refreshing or enjoyable than spending time reading the word of God.

I could spend my day taking photos, chatting with friends, listening to music or watching tv but non would fill me the same way that spending an hour or half hour in my bible.

It really is our daily bread, so why do we spend so much time starving ourselves and or snacking on junk food that only fills our appetite for shorts periods of time? I know I am often guilty of this myself but when I spend regular time reading my bible or even just in the presence of God I feel full. I question why I avoid spending time with the God who has given everything for me.

Tonight I read in Judges how Israel disobeyed God and broke the covenant he had made with them. This lead to Israel leaving God and remaining in their stubborn ways and practices. God removed his hand and left Israel and left them open to their enemies.
This may sound pretty pointless and you may even see why God removes himself from the situation but like the loving father he is God sends judges to save his people from this who wish to plunder them.

I know God is not just about Love but he is LOVE and forgiveness and faithfulness and we are only gonna know this by spending time with him and making him our daily bread
