Psalm 63:1 (NIV)
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.

When I was a kid, I thought Twinkies were the best food in the world (now that I am a mature adult that title is now bestowed upon Krispe Kreme donuts).  Of course as kids we were told not to eat “sweets” before dinner because it would ruin our appetite for foods that actually contained nutrients.  I find that principle to be true spiritually.  If I fill up on lesser things, my appetite for God can be ruined.  I don’t long for Him like I should, because I have filled the place that rightfully belongs to Him with spiritual Twinkies–momentarily satisfying but ultimately leaving me empty.  Do you hunger for God, or lesser things?  How do you satisfy the spiritual craving of your soul?

Here is the rest of today’s Bible reading:  Isaiah 30:12-33:12; Galatians 4:21-5:12; Psalm 63:1-11; Proverbs 23:22.
