Luke 1:53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.
My wife Linda has many talents;
however, among her many accomplishments in life is the fact that she is the
most fabulous cook I have ever known. Many people have verified this fact that
we have encountered. She has another great ability, and that is the speed by
which she prepares a meal; the only term I can come up with is “lightning
fast.”
Several times during our lives
together, I was away from home and forced to eat at a restaurant. Sometimes, it
might be a restaurant connected with a motel I was staying at. However, as they
say, back where I was born in Georga, it was, at its best, “fair to middling.”
It might temporarily fill the void in our stomachs, but many things taste
better than others. Our human nature is to run to the things that taste great.
We generally want more and crave them.
That should be our desire with
God. Anytime that we are hungry for the things of God, He provides. I have
never been searching for something from God, and my soul has not been
satisfied. It was far better than anything I could have ever imagined. Not only
that, it made me want more.
As we reflect on our lives, let
us think about all the times God has fully satisfied us. It should always leave
us wanting more. Each time God puts a good thing in, it should light our
craving for more of Him. Are we simply craving enough of God to get by, or are
we craving complete satisfaction?
