Divine Hunger

Key text:- Psalm 63:1

Love for God kills drive for sin. Hunger for God drives away craving for the world. No man can love God and also love the world. If your love for God is equal to your love for material things, there is somewhere you need to adjust. 1 John 2:15 admonishes us to "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."

Love for God will spur you to wanting more of him. When you have an undying hunger for God, you are always conscious because whomever you love, you don't want to hurt. The effect is that you cannot stay long in a mess. David was called a man after God's heart, not because he didn't sin against God or because he was perfect. It was because he possessed this level of hunger for God that kept pulling him back to God after each fall. People don't become failures because they fell down; they becomes failures because they stayed down. Rise up!
