Hungry

What will you eat today? We spend much time thinking about what we plan to eat throughout the day. There are so many food choices available to us twenty -four hours every day that it is easy to overindulge. We desire to satisfy our physical hunger but are we feeding our spiritual man. We cannot live by bread alone, we cannot be completely satisfied by bread alone but we need the Word! When someone says he/she is always hungry, what food source are they hungry for. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst…. often we are so caught up in the desire to satisfy our flesh, we miss the prompting, the craving Holy Spirit gives us to eat of the Word. Guilty as charged as I believe there have been times in my life in which I was starving but focused on filling my stomach instead of feeding my spirit. Hunger is defined as a feeling of discomfort or weakness caused by the lack of food, coupled with the desire to eat. But eat what?

Other than the Word of God, there may be a hunger to eat information about something that will improve your life. There may be a prompting to read information about parenting, wellness, or home improvement etc. Your discomfort does not have to move you towards the refrigerator but it can move you to wholeness, completeness, peace, joy, and an overall better life if you allow it. During the first part of the pandemic, I gained weight! I lost it but recently have gained it back. I constantly ate. Since I was unable to go anywhere and was working from home, food satisfied me, Netflix satisfied me and Amazon satisfied me and the weight had just accumulated. I was full of junk and my BMI is ridiculously out of range. I have now decided to allow Holy Spirit to determine my calorie intake…, it’s hard! What is prompting this hunger/discomfort I feel? I am hungry for the Word, more knowledge, more life and life more abundantly! Strategically plan your meal choice for today! Monitor your calorie intake!
