Are You Spiritually Hungry?

By Ginny Chambers

What are you hungry for? Hunger can have many faces. A hunger for wealth and success keeps many people on the hamster wheel until they’re exhausted. A hunger for health has some looking for the latest diet fads. Still others hunger for a more youthful appearance and invest in the newest cream or serum.

But there is a hunger that only God can and will satisfy. It is a spiritual hunger. It is that emptiness we feel in our souls. The good news is that God promises to fill us so that we are never hungry again.

“Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.’” – John 6:35

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” – Matthew 5:6

“He sets a banquet before us, in the presence of our enemies.” – Psalm 23:5.

When one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, ‘Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!’” – Luke 14:15

As we hunger and thirst after righteousness, we shall be filled! So step up to the banquet table and feast. Taste and see that the Lord is good!
