Weekend, March 13, 2021 Spiritually Hangry "When I discovered your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God of Heaven's Armies" (Jeremiah 15:16 NLT). There's a cat in our neighborhood named Hopkins who goes from house to house, and everyone feeds him. The other morning, I got up to find that Hopkins was walking around in our house. So my wife, Cathe, asked me to give him some milk, so I poured some into a little bowl and set it down in front of Hopkins. He took about two licks and then wandered away, probably to get food from some other neighbors. I thought, "Wait! I just poured all that milk in a bowl for you!" Some of us approach God's Word in the same way. We take in a little bit and think we're good. Then off we go. But hold on. Dig in deeper. Continue in the Word of God. When I don't eat, I get irritable. I get hangry. But I've discovered that just one good meal can change everything. Take children for instance. When babies cry, it's usually because they're hungry or need a nap. |
