Famine

This old world of ours can suffer some real droughts and sometimes famine can raise its ugly head. However, even if life is not that severe for you, there can be some dry times and a hunger for something you’re really not sure of.

The hymn writer put it like this:

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me

He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness, He’ll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and Earth will fade but His Word will still remain
And He will do something new today

The ancient prophet mentioned a famine like no other:

Amos 8:11

 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“when I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.

If you are in the Word and the Word is in you, everything is good. That not being the case, you need to wake up to the famine that has eternal consequences.

Give it some thought.
