Beef Jerky and Rootbeer 10-27-08

Bear with me as I try my best to improve my devos. It is good to criticize each other so if you have good suggestion or anything email em to me. AGCwriters@gmail.com

“For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you.”- 1 Peter 1:24-25
14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14
Man I haven’t written any devos in so long. Anyways sorry about that for a week so our minds just haven’t been getting any devo ideas. But anyways I try my best to keep up with the commitment I made if not then you can yell at me.

One day you decided to buy some beef jerky. On the other hand you needed a drink so you also bought some root beer. Start walking home and you get really thirsty and sweaty, open 1 can of root beer consume it in seconds. Then your stomach starts getting hungry so you open the bag of beef jerky up and started consuming that to. Next thing you know you get thirsty again because of the dryness of the jerky. Not only that you drink caffeine so you are craving for more root beer. By the time you get home you find out that all your root beer and beef jerky is gone.

Everyday we have our daily meals breakfast, lunch, and everyone favorite dinner. Without it we wouldn’t have the energy to get through each and every single day. But each day we eat these food and each day we get hungry. So we have to eat everyday!

Now how many of you try to read your Bible everyday? (Devos do count to in a way)
Well each time we read it doesn’t your heart just feel warm and just calm? Do you know why it’s like that?

Bible is God’s word! And when you read it, its one of the things that God talks to you by. Like lets say you pray Lord help me with this and He might answer you 1 way by saying “Open your Bible and read this” This gut feeling inside tells you do this…Now that’s God answering your prayer and the Holy spirit guiding you.

When your heart feels warm and calm you don’t really care about anything else and you’re just satisfied. Well in John 4:14 Jesus tells us whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Salvation once we get salvation we are never thirsty again.

But look still when you read the Bible isn’t it freaky that once you read a verse and it really sticks to you it never goes away? What I mean is lets say you read this awesome verse and cool after awhile you forget it right? Then you go through a trail and then all of the sudden this verse comes back and helps you. Freaky and ironic isn’t it. Not only does God word never disappear spiritually it doesn’t physically to!

Food like beef jerky and drinks like root beer will be consume and one day all of it will be consume.



But as we read God’s word (food) we are always hungry for more because we are so passionate. But everyday once we have read it we are filled of course its good to yearn for more though! And once we finally drink and be washed in Christ blood we are never thirsty again because we are finally free. We have a ticket to heaven we don’t have to keep worrying about buying more drinks or a key for salivation. We are finally full and free.

So here is my challenge to you:
Did you have that water yet?
Are you eating enough “food” everyday?
