Appetite

What are you hungry for? The city where I live – Portland, Oregon – is a foodie kind of place. There are creative chefs, decadent food options, and discerning diners. 

Most of us have favorite foods that we crave. We know the satisfaction we get from them and so we hunger for them again and again.

Do you know that you can also hunger for God? You can be so filled and satisfied in His presence that You crave time with Him.

When I was younger I had an appetite for sins and bad habits.  When I began walking with Jesus I discovered that He filled me up and satisfied all my cravings.  My appetite changed.

In the Message Bible in Matthew 5:6 Jesus says: “You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He is food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.”

Let’s get hungry for God!
