Today's Word from Marty and Jessica
 God longs to pour out his abundant blessing on every area of your
life. He wants you to live completely satisfied. When you hunger and thirst for
righteousness--God's way of doing things--then you will live in complete satisfaction.
You direct your hunger by choosing what you focus on. For example, if you focus
on your favorite food, if you start thinking about it early in the morning, and
all throughout the day, chances are, by the end of the day you'll be eating it!
What you give your attention to, you will desire. In the same way, the more you
give your attention to God and His Word, the more you will hunger for Him. Just
like the scripture promises, when you hunger for righteousness, you will be
completely satisfied. The world offers so many things for you to give your
attention to, but they aren't things that will satisfy. You might think you
want a particular car, or certain clothes, or live in a particular
neighborhood. There's nothing wrong with those things, but understand that
"things" won't ever satisfy you. Recognize that only God will satisfy you. As
you hunger for Him, you'll live in peace and blessing and live completely
satisfied all the days of your life!

A Prayer for Today Father in Heaven, I come to You today, I ask for
forgiveness for allowing anything to capture my heart and attention more than
You. I choose today to give You top priority, and choose to hunger for Your
righteousness. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
