I’m Hungry
You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat. Matthew 5:6
Gigi (our 15-month-old daughter) always seems to be hungry. I left the refrigerator door open for just a moment the other day and turned around to find this. If she could have climbed in and made a turkey sandwich, I think she would have.
Her constant food cravings got me thinking about my own preferred hankerings. If I’m honest, most of the time I am craving my perfect snack – salted tortilla chips with homemade guacamole.
I wish my cravings were for apples, broccoli, and celery –– but I’ve got a thing for chips and guac. The problem is that one chip never seems to be enough… I always want more. I certainly don’t think that a steady diet of chips & guacamole make for a healthy consistent diet. Perhaps their only real benefit is the physical reminder they serve to my deeper soul longing.
You are I were created to hunger and thirst for God
To crave intimacy with him.
To long for more time with him.
To know his Word.
To see him in the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life.
To desire to be exactly who he created me to be.
To want more and more and more and more…
So today I’m asking God to help me long for more of Him just like I long for those chips and guacamole.
How about you?

some days i have to just stop and connect myself to God. He doesn't get disconnected, but I sure do. I love this one snack cake that my wife makes. It's so good. That's how I crave the contexts of Scripture that sink down deep and give me that fulfillment that I was meant to have.
Love me some homemade guacamole
