Day 9 ~ Desperate Hunger!
“Those who hunger after righteousness will be filled,” Matthew 5:6
People who are desperate for God’s Presence will move beyond convenience and personal comfort. They cannot be satisfied with worldly pleasures of religious routine. For them, Jesus is no longer a religious concept. He has become their reality, their life, and the source of their longing and desire. An initial hunger and thirst comes with the gift of salvation, but after the spiritual honeymoon is over we must intentionally cultivate our spiritual passion. It’s so easy for our once-fiery hearts to grow cold in our love toward Him. Our first prayer must be to ask Him to increase our spiritual appetite.
The Word of God promises us that if we are hungry and thirsty, we shall be filled. Spiritual hunger is the currency of heaven. Hunger is what causes us to empty ourselves of compromise. It creates a holy dissatisfaction that drives us to our knees and makes us depend on God.
Prayer Points:
*Forgive me for filling myself with worldly pleasures. Help me to empty myself of the spirit of the world and fill myself with You.
*Jesus, would You take my cold heart and turn it into a burning fire? Would you renew in my life a fresh hunger and thirst for You?
