0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.
0:05.0	Where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:09.0	In the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	I'm Jeff Parrot.
0:14.0	Obey your thirst. This famous marketing slogan of the 1990s, it's being brought back to life
0:21.0	by the iconic soft drink brand Sprite.
0:24.9	It's part of an attempt to better reach the younger demographic of consumers today.
0:29.8	Yet the executives at Sprite see obey your thirst as more than just the revival of a slogan.

1:46.7	satisfaction? We're forced to reckon with these questions in Psalm 63, the Psalm of David that brings us to the important intersection of
1:56.8	both thirst and obedience. Now before we let God's word shape us in our time together, let's ask for his grace and his
2:04.9	presence to be felt. Let's pray.
2:08.5	Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift, the precious gift of life and breath today.
