Lately I have been doing A LOT of reading! I have read books about orphans, beggar children, adoption and the Kingdom of God, the manifestation of God’s supernatural and miraculous power, healthy doses of the Word, blogs about justice and injustice and people living out the Gospel of Christ in their daily lives. And all I can say is that it makes me hungry for more!
When it comes to the satisfaction that only God can give nothing can satisfy my appetite aside of Him alone!
So let me ask you…what do you hunger for?
Immediately when we think about this question we think of tangible food items like a juicy steak, Italian food, an ice cream sundae, and so forth. And God has certainly given us an abundance of food that temporarily satisfies us….but soon after we eat we find that we are hungry all over again and seeking to be fed.
But do you find yourself hungering for and after the things of God?
Hunger and thirst for righteousness…
O taste and see that the Lord is GOOD!
Every day God offers us fresh bread. He doesn’t want us to eat crumbs from the table but the Word tells us that He has prepared a banquet, a royal feast, for us to partake in!
But do we come to the Lord’s table hungry? Have we built up an appetite that can only be satisfied by the things that He can give?
The more I learn about the Lord’s heart for His children; you and I, the orphan, the widow, the beggar, the rich man, the sick and the needy…the more I find myself really hungering after Him! Hungering to see the lost saved and God’s Kingdom ever present on the earth! The more I hunger, the more I pray.
I pray for God to give me an insatiable hunger for the things of heaven. I don’t want to feel satisfied but to always be wanting more. I want more of His heart and I want to live in a place of such desperation for my Father to use me.
God is stirring up an army of this I have no doubt. He is shaking anything that can be shaken and preparing us for what’s to come. God is speaking; but are we listening? Are our hearts positioned low to hear and respond to His voice?
How hungry are we really? How desperate for the things of God do we find ourselves? Or are we comfortable and satisfied?
Think about this today. Where are you in your personal walk with the Lord?
God is always constant and always there. When we don’t “feel” Him. When we “feel” alone or dry- remember that. Dig deeper; drink more. Build up your appetite for the things of the Lord…and when you do-get ready- God is on the move- and He desires to strengthen and support those whose eyes are fixed on Him!
