What are you hungry for?
January 30, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When Jesus said “the one who hungers and thirsts for righteousness will find that hunger met,” He was not talking about someone who had a mere appetite; He was talking about a starving person.
God made us in such a way that we couldn’t exist long without food. What is a starving person interested in? The latest football scores? The flower arrangement at the pink lemonade society? The number of stars in the universe? No! They’re only interested in one thing – food!
In fact, I did some research and discovered that a person can exist about forty days without food, about three days without water, and only eight minutes without air. In the spiritual realm of eternity, man cannot exist one second without Jesus Christ.
ACTION POINT:
May God help us narrow our focus to hunger first and foremost for Him! It will result in bringing glory to God and saving multitudes of souls.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
