Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

This is the worst famine of all, worse than a famine of bread or a thirst for water.

The worst famine of all is silence from God in His Word.

We need the Word of God more than we need bread every day, more than we need water for our bodies.

We have no salvation, no hope, no promises to stand on, no truth to cling to, no light to lead us on the way in a world of darkness and lies and deception.

We are desperate for the Word of God and praise God in a way that's different from Amos 8.

We have access to His Word.

We can open up a Bible.

We have 66 books that are inspired by the Spirit of God as the Word of God.

So let's take full advantage of this. Let's meditate on it some one day and night.

Let's feast on it, eat of it, drink from it more than bread, food during the day, water that we drink.

May we see God's Word as far more important than anything else in this world.

And at the same time, doesn't this passage just give us a perspective on unreached people we pray for all the time on this podcast?

People who have a famine of God's Word.

Many of these unreached people who don't even have the scripture in their language, they don't have God's Word.

They live without light and promises from God.

Hope in Jesus.

So God, we praise you for your Word.

We praise you that Amos 8 is not a reality for us that we do not have.

Because of us listening to this, we don't have a famine of hearing your Word.

We have an abundance of your Word.

We praise you for your Word.
