I was tempted to leave this out. This is a series that I have labeled ‘A Journey of Faith’. The stories in this series were to be a record of the things I learn in relation to believing God and seeing God size things happen.
I wanted to write about it but it didn’t seem to fit. I started to pass it up for one just a few chapters away and write about this one another day; but I couldn’t. It kept pulling me back. The truth of it was so exactly where I have lived. It expresses it so simply and clearly.
And then I thought . . . it could be the very thing responsible for my being on this journey. And so I saw that it ‘did’ fit. I ‘didn’t’ have to pass by it.
There’s really nothing I can say about it or add to it to make it say anything more than it says all by itself; so I will simply close with it.
Psalm 119:67 “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.”
Hunger and Thirst 
Yes . . .a good fit indeed. Thank you for not passing it up, but being obedient to the pulling that brought you back to it and had you include it now.
God bless you and thank you for sharing this series with us!
This is one of those scriptures I’ve lived in often.
That is a powerful verse … so many are afflicted and yet refuse to turn to God’s truth. It is following their own self-will that has brought on their afflictions for we reap what we sow. May we faithfully sow the truth in our lives and embrace the healing that God desires for all of us.
