Feed your hunger

Ever have cravings? I have a few from time to time. I really like Reese Cups; I mean really. And, occasionally, I give in to that craving and have a couple. Now, I don't always give in to the craving because eating that much goodness can be bad for you, for me.

There are other cravings that I have that I indulge sometimes, too. There are times that I will binge watch something on television that I enjoy, such as Flea Market Flip, Love it or List it, Fixer Upper, The Food Network, college football. But, even then, I know that it isn't good for me to continue to sit on the couch and accomplish nothing.

Today's word is a paraphrase of 1 Peter 2:2, which reminds us of a craving we should have and indulge every day: "Crave the Word of GOD like a baby craves milk, so you may grow up mature and whole in GOD."

We have a yearning within us that can only be filled by a sincere and hungry desire to know more about our LORD and SAVIOR. And, the only way to fulfill that longing, that hunger, that craving is to read His Word. We can certainly listen to someone else read it to us. We can certainly get a filling by listening to someone else preach it to us. We can certainly get a taste of it by someone else singing about Him. But, there is nothing like the filling and feeling we get when we sit and have a few intimate moments with Him through His word.

We indulge in other cravings. Why do we not nurture and fill the craving to know more about JESUS? Take a few minutes today and study His Word. Take a few minutes today and feed your hunger.

Be Blessed,
