Crave Him

"Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are they who keep His testimonies, and who seek, inquire for and of Him and crave Him with a whole heart"(Psalm 119:2 AMP)

Often times when we hear the word "crave", we automatically think about food cravings. Cravings can be triggered by just about anything. You may see an advertisement of your favorite burger or hear someone mention ice cream, and it produces an image in your mind. You replay that image over and over again until you have to get in your car and seek that thing you are craving! Your spiritual cravings work the same way. When you focus on God and meditate on His Word, it starts to change your desires on the inside. Spiritual hunger for Him will grow and develop into a craving-until you actually have to stop everything else in order to seek Him! If you feel spiritually hungry, take a step of faith and begin to focus your heart more on God and His Word. The Bible says that when you seek Him with your whole heart, you will find Him. Just like the verse says, when you crave God and obey His commands, you will live happy and blessed all the days of your life!

Prayer

Dear Lord, today I set my focus on You. I choose to seek You with an open heart. Remind me of Your goodness today and keep me close to You. Thank You for filling me with Your peace and joy and for empowering me through the Truth of Your Word. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
