Our Deep Spiritual Hunger for God
This is a story of two travelers who walked with Jesus for many miles, then begged him to stay because they wanted him to keep talking. And it gives us a window into our own spiritual appetite:
“This story tells us something about our deep spiritual need, this hunger that God created us to have for him. Only God can open our eyes. This is not: ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps, do all the right things to be a good Christian, open your Bible and read it, pursue Jesus on your own strength…’
That’s not what the Christian life is. It’s a total, One hundred percent abiding in and dependence on the Lord, and I think we see that here.” Kristen Wetherell
How will you depend on the Lord to give you an appetite for his Word today?
