Are You Hungry?

James 1:19-20

New International Version (NIV)

 ¹⁹ My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, ²⁰ because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

   Many Christians today are suffering from spiritual anorexia and starving to death spiritually. Even though they may have plenty of Bibles in their homes for spiritual nourishment, and even though the church (a spiritual supermarket) is right down the street, these Christians suffer from spiritual malnutrition. One primary reason for this is that they have not decided to make becoming like Christ their sole purpose. If He is not your passionate purpose, everything else you do will be wasted. God’s purpose for us is to be conformed to the image of His Son, to be transformed by His glory, and to be made holy and righteous like Christ.

   We must make the Bible the first place we go to find truth, not the last. We must be quick to hear His truth. Often times, I see people that are hungry for the word and it's truths. Unfortunately, a lot of these people stay hungry, because they are not willing to get up and eat from God's buffet line. They would rather sit around eating the crumbs from another persons dedication to God's word. We must break this cycle. I won't go to Heaven based on my wife's salvation, I have to work towards a relationship with God on my own. 

It's time to let God move in your life! Dig into his word, and never be hungry again.
