Don't Go Hungry

 

All Scripture is breathed out

           by God

and profitable for teaching,

for reproof,

for correction, 

and for training in righteousness

that the man (or woman) of God

may be competent,

equipped for every good work.

             2 Timothy 3. 16-17

Equipped and prepared

   means ready for 

          every good work,

even the hard stuff

  God places before us.

Not that we predict

         every contingency,

  but we have God's Word

  to guide us through

and to give us His strength

        and the hope we need.

May we not go into the day

  hungry for God's Word.

A million things unfold

      in the course of a day,

even more are ordained.

God's Word empowers us

 to see the portals

               of His Kingdom.

In our goings, efforts,

      and faithfulness,

God guides our way

                   through.

O LORD,

 Let Your word prevail

       in our hearts.

Help us not just to read,

   but to marinate in it.

And to know that

   Your Word changes us

and how we respond

      to You

      and to this day.

Equip us, Almighty One,

     for every good work.
