“My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
Oh that we would truly have a real thirst for the living God. It seems as if Amos gave us a prophecy for our world today – a world where there is a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

Amos 8:11
"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD, "when I will send a famine through the land-- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
Does this sound like our world today?

“I will set before my eyes no vile thing.”
This would help keep us pure in a sinful world. Remember we can’t unsee, unhear, or unsay anything.

What is our responsibility as believers in Jesus to stop the famine of hearing the word of the Lord? Might it start with having a real thirst for the living God?  And then, shouldn't our next step be to quench that thirst by drinking in His Word and telling others about it?
