Daily Devotional I’m Hungry!” Read Matthew 5:1-12 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. - Matthew 5:6 (NIV) Four-year-old Brenda slipped unseen from her mother’s pew. She walked down the aisle to the front of the church, where her pastor stood making the weekly announcements. Taking the pastor’s hand, she announced, “I’m hungry!” The embarrassed mother hurried to retrieve her child and bring her back to the pew.

Are the others in the congregation spiritually hungry for more of God? Am I? Did I enter the sanctuary expecting to be spiritually fed from the Lord’s table? Now each Sabbath I make a conscious effort to come to church hungry. I wait expectantly for the Holy Spirit to feed my heart and soul. Then I continue my spiritual journey, nourished, invigorated, and fed. The Author Karen S. Wylie (Texas, USA) Thought for the Day: How am I feeding my hunger for more of God?
