--Taken from One In A Million: Journey To Your Promised Land by Priscilla Shirer

What a wonderful study this is and so very timely for this season of my life. G*d is so good in how He orchestrates the tiniest details. About half way through it now, and loving every page. I am thankful that not only is G*d teaching me and speaking to me in very specific ways through scripture and this study, but also He is teaching me to prioritize Him each and every day, above ALL things and ALL people and ALL circumstances. It reminds me of Paul saying he was in chains for the gospel of Chr!st. I want to be free from every hindrance and chained only to the Living Word, Je$us Chr!st. There are so many things in this world that seem to demand our attention, but there is only One thing that is truly necessary, and that is time with my Lord. "Your Word is life to me, my truest longing, my deepest need, without it one moment, I don't know where I'd be, Your Word is life to me."~Casting Crowns song

Then Je$us declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." John 6:35
