A HUNGRY SOUL

“Even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their master’s table,” Mark 7:28 ESV. These were powerful words spoken out of the deep need of a mother seeking God’s help for her child. Even when the disciples and The LORD Himself seemingly made it difficult for her, she would not go away, she would not lose heart, she would not quit! Psalm 107:9 ESV gives us further insight into unlocking the power of spiritual need: “For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.” And Proverbs 27:7 NKJV states: “A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.” Too many people walk away from the help they seek because the journey of faith is more difficult than they expected. A truly hungry heart is not easily offended. Glorious Father, may I never tire of following hard after you. Only in Your Presence can I quench my thirsty soul, only You have the Words of Life, and in Your will alone will I find rest.
