Motivated by Hunger

I had just returned from Bible Study that night. I had been feeling hot in my head especially all evening. I couldn't cook, so I took a cold shower and slept.

Suddenly, in the middle of the night, I woke up. I felt slightly better. Why had I woken up? Hunger had woken me, I was very hungry.

I got up and decided to cook a quick spaghetti. Then I saw my pots dirty. I hadn't washed them. "Oh no, would I have to wash now", I cringed.

Looking back at my bed, the thought to go back to bed came to me, but as I made to move, the hunger stroke harder and I reversed.

After a few seconds of deliberation, I decided to wash the plates. Frankly, HUNGER motivated me o.

I washed, cooked and ate before sleeping back.

What am I driving at?

If you're truly hungry for God, you'll do the things you have to, without any extra motivation. Hunger alone is capable of moving you to read your Bible, pray, preach, and make necessary sacrifices.

I had to sacrifice the comfort of my bed, had to dip my hands in cold water and neglect my not feeling too well, all because I was hungry.

Are you truly hungry for God?
What has this hunger motivated you to do?
How many sacrifices has this hunger made you to make?

Oh, that we may truly hunger and thirst for God.
That we would readily leave our comfort zones and press more.
