The Only Thing That Satisfies Hunger

We live in times when it gets harder each day to satisfy our inner needs. Man, by his very nature, tends to fill the empty places in the heart with fleeting entertainment, money, sports, casinos, work, trips, etc. Very few people understand that God designed this empty spot in the heart of man and only our Lord Jesus Christ can fill it. It is through Jesus alone that we can experience a full and abundant life. (John 14:6; John 10:10)

If you have already had a personal encounter with Jesus but there is still dissatisfaction deep within you, it is important to identify the reason for this feeling. Perhaps you attend a church and feel that you are doing it more out of obligation than desire, and it has become only a habit. If this is your condition, I have this advice for you: Don’t give up, but continue seeking. There are many ways to have a deeper and more personal connection with the Lord, but there is something that you need to do, because the word ‘seek’ implies effort and action. Your relationship with the Heavenly Father does not happen by accident, but requires you to be intentional in your communion with Him.

The Lord desires us to know Him through reading, studying, and meditating on the Word of God. But there is even more; He wants us to experience Him and know Him intimately. It is during this time that we can sense the nearness of His presence and His will is revealed to us through His Spirit. When we succeed in establishing the daily habit of having communion with Him, we will learn better how He is working in our life. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.» (Jeremiah 29:11-13) I encourage you to let nothing interrupt your communion with Him. Very soon you will realize that this companionship with the Lord is truly satisfying, and you will find yourself needing Him more and more. Then you will truly know what it means to always hunger for Him, but at the same time, to always be satisfied.

Promise of the Week – “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you…” (Isaiah 55:1-3)
