Spiritual Passion

2/8/2018

How is your “Spiritual Passion” for God? Are you making a passionate pursuit for the things of God? The answer to these questions will largely be determined by how you might answer this question: How’s my spiritual appetite? The Bible is clear that God feeds hungry people, but only hungry people.

The Old Testament David was doing his very best from a spiritual standpoint when he was able to say “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.  {2} My soul thirsts for God, for the living God” (Psalm 42:1-2). Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied" (Matthew 5:6). Our being filled by God is not limited by my appetite. God is able to make our cups overflow.

​It can be helpful for us to reflect on our personal appetite for God and His Word. One way a doctor can determine the health of an individual is related to one’s appetite. The loss of a desire for food is a definite indication that something deeper is wrong. When you lose your spiritual appetite, something inside isn't working properly, because hunger is a natural part of a proper functioning life. Let’s help one another not only to love the Lord, but to develop more of a hunger for spiritual things.
