Monday Sept 12 Hunger and Thirst

How hungry are you? There is a hunger and thirst in the heart of every person for something. Perhaps you have heard it called “God hunger”, or a God shaped vacuum. How can we feed the hunger in our lives for God? One simple way is for us to recognize that it is God who we are hungering for! Most of us try to fill the hunger on the inside of us with everything else but God. You know, with food, with stuff, with wrong relationships, etc. But God’s Word is what we are hungry for! It is the bread of life, the bread of heaven, and food for our soul. One of my favorite Bible verses is in Matt 5 verse 6 where it says that he who hungers and thirsts for righteousness will be filled. What a wonderful promise. When we hunger for righteousness, there is a promise of fulfillment. There is an answer to satisfy the hunger! It is to dig deep into the Word of God. God’s word is rich and satisfying! There are answers within that will quiet each question. There is comfort, forgiveness, restoration, peace, liberty, freedom, joy, ……you name it, what you need you will find in the Word of God. So are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry and thirsty for what your really want, and what you really need? Then dig in deep into God’s Word, and then taste and see that the Lord is um, um good.
