COMING HUMBLY HUNGRY TO HIS TABLE

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled”. Matthew 5:6 N.I.V

When I came home from the office on Tuesday afternoon I was not a little hungry. As I walked through the front door I was hit by the aroma of a delicious spicy curry coming from the kitchen. My empty tummy performed cartwheels! "How far is dinner?" I asked my lovely wife as she stirred the steaming pot on the cooker. "Probably another half hour," she replied.
I knew I'd never make it. When my tummy is hungry then I am blinded to all good reason, so I invaded the snack box. Hmm, a bag of crisps would be nice and a Mars Bar, perhaps. I munched a snack before supper. Thirty minutes later when I finally sat down with the family to consume that scrumptious curry that my wife had so lovingly prepared I was disappointed to find that I was no longer hungry.
Humbly hungry is how we are to come before the Lord our God. The Lord is magnificent, almighty and all-powerful. In fact, God is so great and infinite that we would never be able - in this life - to know his fullness. However, we are called to seek him with all our hearts. We are encouraged to be hungry for his righteousness. Jesus is called God's Rest, any wonder then that he says that when we are weary we are to come to him. We come to him just as we are empty and humbly hungry.
I encourage you today to not snack before dinner. Don't allow yourself to be filled up with the things this world can offer, before coming to Jesus. Humbly come to him with an empty spiritual tummy, hungry for what only he can give you. The Psalms tell us that he prepares a table for us before our enemies. So come hungry to the banquet he has fixed for you; hungry for that deposit from heaven, his Holy Spirit. Only he can satisfy your cravings and your longings. Only he can fulfill your purposes and ambitions. His presence is all you need today, tomorrow and for the rest of your life.
God-tracking is coming humbly hungry to his table. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies”. Psalm 23:5

Pray:
"Father God, thank you for sending Jesus to pay for my sins and thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to be my comforter and my companion. I confess Jesus as Lord and humbly hunger for a touch of your Spirit. Lord, I open my heart to you and lay down all my preconceived notions and opinions. I want to be hungry for only you, forgive me for 'snaking' on what the world offers. I want only you. Show me your glory. I am humbly hungry to experience your supernatural touch in my life. I come just as I am to serve you. Amen."

Smile"There is a hunger on the streets for the real thing, so we need a breakthrough of the power of God in our cities and churches people are hungry to see a God-sized God in the church." Rachel Hickson
