This week I would like to quote a paragraph from a book tilted "Final Word: Why We Need the Bible" by pastor John MacArthur.
Psalm 42:1 says: "As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God."
The Psalmist is not referring to the way some people read the Bible as a curiosity or as ancient literature. He's not talking about perusing the Bible for intellectual stimulation or gathering ammunition to win an argument. This is studying Scripture eagerly and earnestly, hungry to extract all of the nourishment we so desperately need out of the word. (p. 81. Final Word)
Help us Lord to desire true hunger for Your nourishment daily. Amen.
