Hungry for His Word

You, God...my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. –Psalm 63:1 NIV

From the time we are born, our bodies tell us when we’re hungry or thirsty. When we become aware of the need, most of us are blessed in that we can easily go to the refrigerator, turn on the water, or pull into a drive-through to satisfy what we are craving. It would be foolish to ignore the signs of hunger.Lack of food and water may leave us anxious, unable to concentrate, and even cranky. Taken to the furthest extent, ignoring our physical need for nourishment can lead to dehydration, starvation, and eventually death. The signals of spiritual malnourishment are just as obvious when we learn to recognize them.Fear, discontentment, anxiety, and the feeling of emptiness are signs of spiritual hunger. When we make the decision to accept Jesus as Savior, making Him Lord of our lives and inviting the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, the feast begins! Each morning and throughout the day, it’s important to eat the spiritual food our Lord has provided and drink from His well—His Word. Every—single—day.

Thank God that His food is always available—day and night.

Ask the Lord to help you crave His Word, as well as His companionship, taking delight in His feast.
