Thirsty for the Word

"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby."
1 Peter 2:2

"And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
Luke 4:4

God has been building a thirst within me for His Word. As a result, time spent in His precious Word are sweeter, His presence more wonderful, and the joy truly does overflow within my heart. Prayer becomes more powerful with a whole arsenal of Scripture fresh in my mind. Sin doesn't have room to invade my mind because it's full of truth! Here are a few of the treasures that I have discovered (or "re-discovered"). :) 

"Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice."
Psalm 141:2

"My beloved spoke, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away."
Song of Solomon 3:10

"My beloved is mine and I am his."
Song of Solomon 2:16

"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it."
Song of Solomon 8:7

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."
Psalm 46:1-2

 I know there are many more ( like the whole Bible! :) but this a pretty good sampling. I hope you enjoy and this fuel's your thirst for even more! His Word is so precious! Praying that this drives you further into Jesus Christ.

Joyfully His,
Victoria Eira
