Life Recovery

Thirst for His Word

bratsjourney | April 18, 2007 07:01

Being an infant in my new Christian Life, the only book I am reading is His Word.

I have an Everday Bible CSB version I read in the morning.  An NIV Bible in large print for my Bible Study.  Yes, I did say large print, so much easier to read when lights are turned down in class as we watch a Beth Moore DVD.  At night I read the Life Recovery Bible, NLT version. 

At present, I don't have a desire to read my favorite authors Nora Roberts aka J.D. Robb, Laurell K. Hamilton, etc.  I must admit I have read a few Beth Moore books since my rebirth in Christ.   The other things I read are the blogs of my fellow Arts Ministry friends. 

So as I was reading April 18 in my daily reading something came over me to search through a few chapters to find this Psalm:

Why should I fear when trouble comes, when enemies surround me?  They trust in their wealth and boast of great riches.  Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death by paying a ransom to God.  Redemption does not come so easily for no one can ever pay enough to live forever and never see the grave.  Psalm 49:5-9 NLT

Wow, envy is everywhere.  I used to be drenched in envy that it just made me sick.  I find I don't want much anymore.  I do say how something would be nice, but deep down, do I really want it? ...  no, not really.
