Psalm 23 tells us that the Lord prepares a banquet for us in the presence of our enemies. In the presence of God, we are not lacking; he provides for us and feeds us no matter what we’re facing.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Psalm 34:8 encourages us to indulge our senses and enjoy the goodness of God.

John 6:35 tells us that Jesus is the bread of life; the relationship we have with him is filling and satisfying.

The only reason I was sustained through my song-sharing marathon of 52 weekly releases was because I consumed encouragement and teaching from the Bible on a daily basis. I learned new truths that had previously eluded me and I rekindled passions and desired that had waned over the years. It’s easy to get hooked on a diet high in sugar, salt, and fatty acids. Junk food seems good at the time but it distracts your body from craving the stuff it really needs.

I get a sense that God is looking for hungry people…those who hunger and thirst for His word and His presence and this is why I’m so excited to Feast in His Presence with God’s people at two very special events.

The delicacies that consumerism has to offer will leave us unfulfilled.

A desire for money and power will eat away at our humanity.

However, a hunger for God’s word and His presence will lead to a place where our souls are truly satisfied.

Join us in Newport on Saturday 23rd November. We have songs from Robbie Howells, Rob Westall, myself and Loulita Gill. There will be finger food to feast on, new songs to sing and an opportunity to connect with Christians from all around the South of Wales.
