Something that God has poured out onto my soul lately, is the importance of hunger. I have recently realized how few times in my life I have been hungry. I eat all the time, but never really hunger.
This caused me to reflect on my walk with God, and as I am in pursuit of Him, I realized that I have never experienced a soul hunger after God. So my prayer has become, God make me hunger for you.
As this has become my prayer, an amazing thing has occurred...
I got hungry.
And I ate.
God has given me a hunger for him, and an awareness of my need to feast from His banquet table on a frequent basis.
As I feast, my heart becomes aware of the struggle between my flesh and my Spirit, my body truly is at battle, a heart that is created to be connected to God, dwelling in a body that is shaped and broken with sin.
How amazing it is to realize this struggle and begin the process of killing the flesh, to live in the Spirit.
Thank you God, for being my soul satisfaction, for sustaining me where food can never satisfy.
God, grow my appetite for you, and allow me to truly hunger for You.
Starved for the Savior,
Nate
