9 For he satisfies the longing soul,
    and the hungry soul he fills with good things. (Psalm 107:9 ESV)

The world and the enemy wishes nothing more than to fill us with things that take us further away from God. And God wishes nothing more than to fill us with the good things He has for us.

How are you being filled?

Our’s is a life much different than previous generations. Ours is one of constant information flows and continual media attention. We, if we allow it, can get a constant stream of what the world offers. But we must make a conscious choice to be fed by God. This means turning off the media and tuning in to God through prayer and scriptural reading.

While I do consume some scripture via my phone, tablet or PC, I far prefer to do so via a Bible in my hand. By turning off everything else and concentrating on the Word, opening my mind only to God, I can be filled by the One Source. I feel this in my core, much like a good workout. It also helps me to let go of the stress the world puts on me so that my hungry and longing soul is filled with good things.
