HUNGER FOR GOD

PSALM 42:1-5

KEY VERSE: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God" (PSALM 42:1).

If a child does not have appetite (hunger for food) for a long period of time, the parents will become concerned and worried. This is because lack of desire for food is a sign that the child may be sick. This loss of appetite would normally be treated by doctors to prevent the child from dying.

Forgetting to pray for days and not having the desire to read God's word are signs of lack of appetite for the things of God. Preferring to stay with friends who make silly jokes and forgetting about fellowship is a sign of a spiritual problem. Another sign of lack of hunger for God is when weeks and months pass without you telling someone about the love of Jesus. Just as our body needs water and thirsts for it, so does our soul need God, and we must thirst and hunger for Him to be refreshed and have strength to continue to obey Jesus and grow to be more like Him.

The hart (deer) is an animal that thirsts and goes to the river to refresh, so as to continue to live and grow. In like manner, a friend of Jesus must thirst after Jesus, the Source of living water. Love to read and meditate on God's word daily, love righteousness, pray every day, love to tell others about Jesus, and desire to obey God no matter what it costs. It pays to thirst after God, for He has promised to satisfy your hunger for Him.

PRAYER: Father, please put in my heart a hunger and a thirst that only You can satisfy.
