Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
Psalms 107:8-9
As we seek God first, we hunger for more of His presence in our lives. When we think of hunger, it is easy to think of food.
The truth is we all have desires and necessities in this life. Yes, we have physical and emotional, intellectual, and spiritual hunger. As Jesus walked the earth, he often described Himself as the "bread of life," telling His people that "whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
Jesus meets all of our needs.
As with any relationship, our relationship with Jesus is a choice, and the desire to pursue a relationship is intentional.
With the help of prayer and the Holy Spirit, we progress in our relationship with Jesus by finding our satisfaction in Him.
We do not grow stagnant in our relationship, as there is always more of God to know, love, and experience.
It can be tempting, when we are satisfied with our relationship with Jesus, to believe the lie that we do not need more of His presence in our lives. The Bible says when we seek God wholeheartedly, we will find Him.
So today, we ask for more of Him and stand on the promise that He will meet us in our desire. By continuing to hunger for more of the Lord, we build our relationship with Jesus and pursue life with Him daily.
