Food for the Hunry

If you go too long without food, you will know. Hunger is powerful. It can provide the motivation we need to seek. We use it a lot when we talk about achieving goals. Cultivating and using that hunger gets results. So, when we turn our thoughts to God, it becomes a game-breaking asset. Those who want to go far with Him, or take their relationship with Him anywhere, will want to have it.

The voice of Christ calling for us to come should provide the inspiration we need. From there, we can go to God in prayer and earnestness. Anything we take to Him calls on His unlimited wisdom and power. When our goals align with His, everything is possible. Even our hunger can be fed by leaning further on our Helper.

So hear Jesus´ encouragement. Empty these hearts. Yearn, even burn, for more of God´s presence. The hungry belong to the Lord.

Dear Lord, look into our souls. Check to see if we hunger and thirst for You. If You find little within us that reaches out for You, light up the fire again. Turn our desire to be with You into a driving force. Let our cry be for more, always more of Your presence. We pray. Amen
