LORD, grant me an insatiable craving for your word. Though gleaning truths from scripture can be onerous work, You remind us that the rewards are exceedingly worth it. May my heart run to your word with all abandon, craving it daily, not in short bursts, but in an all consuming way. I admit that I cannot recall the last time I "panted" after your word, the last time I deemed it to be the validator of who I was. It becomes easier for me to turn to books and devotions to help me understand better, but it's not right when I make those my sources of ultimate authority. God, I need your Word to know your heart, I need your truth to shape me, expose me, and lead me in the path everlasting. I keep running to the world to tell me who I am, but you have written a Redemption story far greater than any self-help book or motivational speech can offer. You are THE GOD KING, and I am your richly lavished, blessed, heir to a Kingdom in which I will someday join in heaven forever. Please help me to remember the INFINITE, when I am so focused on the FINITE.
