This morning when I began my journaling, my last words before the devotional reading were “I am hungry for Your Words Lord.”
As I opened up David Nasser’s A Call To Die, I saw that today’s devotion was about food… specifically spiritual food vs worldly food. How often do we as Christians fill our souls with crap rather than the spiritual food God so greatly desires for His children to feast on?
Nasser compared it to a feast. The Lord has the delicious King’s banquet meal, yet for some reason we settle for scraps dug out the a garbage can that are half eaten, not nutrious at all, and ultimately end up leaving us hallow and filled with disease.
We are children of the Most High, we are to be eating at the King’s table! Why brothers? Why sisters? Why are we constantly feasting on the diseased half eaten crap that the world offers?
I do not write this out of pride or accomplishment, but instead out of conviction. I found myself sitting in my room the other day asking, “Lord, why am I not hungry for You today? I long to hunger more for You and Your sweet words.” We should be so drenched that we are feasting, filling up, and remaining even more hungry all at the same time.
Today, tomorrow, forever, my soul hungers for You Lord. Keep me hungry. Fill me more with You, that I may fill up daily and become increasingly hungry as I feast on Your precious Word.
May that be our prayer.
