I don't know why I continue to be amazed at how God arranges just the right words for me to hear or read. I do enjoy the feeling of amazement, though. It is remarkable to me that He cares right down to the details.
This is the King James Version of the verses that I read last night in the Daily Light after returning from a much needed evening of delightful fellowship. I'll note that one of the elements we talked about during fellowship was the need to increase the amount of time spent in praise. That is, to right the ratio of praise to petition in our prayers.
One thing is needful. Luke 10:42
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. Psa. 4:6, 7
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God. Psa. 42:1, 2
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. Psa. 63:1
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Lord, evermore give us this bread. John 6:35, 34
Mary . . . sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. Luke 10:39
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. Psa. 27:4
(I read this in New King James, but even in King James English I hope you can see the correlation to my last post recounting what I gained from last night's fellowship.)
