Excitement

Tomorrow is the big day! I am excited to begin this immersion in God's word.

Jesus was tempted in the desert by the devil to turn stones into bread and end his 40 day fast. Jesus was hungry and eating bread would have been an end to his self imposed hunger. But Jesus hungered for something more, something that sustains and satisfies a man or woman in a way food cannot. He quoted the law of Moses saying, "one does not live on bread alone, but from every word that comes out of God's mouth." (my paraphrase)

My excitement, my appetite is for this true food, spiritual words that feed the soul and deepen my dependence my God my Father.
