Get hungry for God

Greetings:
How many of you have ever been hungry?
When you are hungry there is an intense gnawing on the inside of your body that is not content until it is filled. Hunger is something that is active and causes you to seek out the object of your desire that will satisfy your need or crave.
Hunger for God is the longing to encounter him, to be with Him, to be filled with His Spirit and to do his work.
When we are hungry for God, we seek his presence and we will do whatever it takes to get close to Him.
When we are hungry for God we will seek that place of spiritual intimacy, that place where will catch not only the revelation he wants to share with us, but we also will catch the heart of God.
When we are hungry for God we will make the time, take the time and spend the time to quench that hunger.
In Jeremiah 29:13, we read, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Many of us want to be filled with the Spirit, we long to be close to God and see miracles happen in people’s lives.
When we hunger and thirst for God, we will seek Him, and when we seek Him, we will be filled and empowered.
Nothing else will satisfy that hunger other than God's presence.
The lack of true hunger for God is a problem in many churches. There is famine without hunger and dryness without thirst for God.
It's time for the church to wake up and move to the spiritual table of God and create an aching, gnawing hunger in our hearts for God.
We need to do what we can do to stir up the desire within ourselves to do more to get in touch with the precious nourishment provided by the Holy Spirit.
Spiritual hunger is contagious. Get around hungry people and it will spread and the church will grow to serve others and impact our community. When we get hungry for God, good things happen.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good.” as it says in Psalm 34:8
We need to quit playing church and seek those things we are called to do.
If we have a hunger for God, that will happen.
Be blessed.
