Do you crave a championship? To be younger or older? Or to grasp some more time with those you love and have loved?
Do you crave an opportunity to go back to the "old home place" and relive earlier times, places, and opportunities?
What do you (and I) crave?
Do we crave the past or look to the future?
Do we crave to reclaim our bodies and make promises (we hope) we will keep?
We make plans. We have visions of what might be.
We let go of the old. We try on the new. We make claims about our hopes and dreams - whether we say them out loud or not.
What do you long for? What do you crave?
As January - this month of renewal ends let's take stock of our cravings (food or otherwise) and remember His promises for the coming months, for this year and for always.
Let's crave Him. Let's crave His Word. Let's crave His Spirit. Let's crave fellowship with His people!!!

Psalms 37
(3) Trust in the Lord and do good. (4) Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. (6) He will make our righteousness shine like the dawn; the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. (9) For those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
Psalms 90
(4) For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by. (12) Teach us to number our days so that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (17) May the favor of the Lord rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us.
Psalms 91
(4) He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness with be your shield. (5) You will not fear.

My prayer for this new year is that He will go before you and guide you in every endeavor. I pray that He will wrap you in His love and give you hopes and dreams, and visions of His plan(s) for your life. I pray that you will stay grounded in His Word and infused with His Wisdom. I pray that you will find alone time to come before Him and to align your will with His. I pray that your daily steps will be guided by Him and that your REAL craving will be for more of Him every day. Amen.
Now! Go and let His radiant love shine through you!
