• “In case any are puzzled by the different translations from which I draw strength and help and delight, it is like this: In studying any object with the microscope we use different lenses and turn the mirror in various ways; each change brings out some new wonder and beauty. So it is for those who are not Greek or Hebrew scholars, and who use the work of scholars to open the meaning of the exhaustible Word–the Bible is richer than any single version can fully show.” – Amy Carmichael

Drive Thru Prayers by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 11/9/11

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: For nearly twelve years I traveled full-time, year-round. During that time, I became a fast food junkie.

“Welcome to Starbees. Would you like to try our special today?”

Nancy: But when I turned thirty, my body started to feel the effects of years of junk food. It was begging for a more nutritious, balanced diet. I needed to make some drastic changes.

I’m sad to say there have been times when I’ve fallen into the habit of spiritual fast food. Grabbing a quick verse here, saying a brief prayer there, meeting with God on the run. The problem is, devotions like that always leave us spiritually malnourished.

But Psalm 81:16 tells us what happens when we listen to Him. It says: “You would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

Do you need to slow down and let God satisfy your hungry heart?

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Verse of the Day

He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. — Isaiah 53:3-4 (NKJV)
