Holy Hunger
Have you ever met someone, or heard about someone, who had to make themselves eat? I know it sounds strange, but I have a daughter who is that way. When she was a child, I had to absolutely make her eat the first couple of bites. Why? Because she didn't understand that she was hungry. After I got her started eating, she was just fine. She would eat everything on her plate. But it was just getting her just get started! I can see a lot of our spiritual lives in the same condition. We are complacent, we don't read our Bibles, we don't pray like we should do, and we don't go to church like we should. I believe that every Christian has that desire to do better, it's all just about getting started. It's about taking that first bite. You have to make yourself sometimes get disciplined enough to commit to God. You may feel like you're not getting anything out of the Bible you're reading, but you must take it on faith that you are. After a few force feedings so to speak, you will find yourself with a hunger. What better time to start than now, at the beginning of a new year. You can find Bible plans all over the Internet, Bible apps that will even read them to you. In this day and hour, there is no reason not to feed our spirit. Do a little research, take a little time, pray about it, and commit to a better year!
