Holy Hunger

1 Peter 2
Verse 2 "Like newborn babies you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation."

The full experience of salvation is the result of a holy hunger. Hunger for God creates holiness in our lives. We are feed according to hunger, many people have pushed away from the spiritual table and as a result they have not received the full experience of salvation. They rejoice in the promise of heaven, but they live defeated, depressed and discouraged lives here on earth. Peter said that we must crave pure spiritual nourishment so that the full experience of salvation would be accomplished in our lives. Without that craving there is a stunting of spiritual growth and victory.

Many Christians are malnourished not because food isn't available, but because their hunger for the world stifles their hunger for God. Many have feed their spiritual cravings with carnal pleasures and they find themselves always looking for more but never being satisfied. There is a rat poison on the market that actually is not poison at all. It is food with no nutritional value. The rats eat it and are filled with this food but at the same time they are being filled, they are being weakened. Until they literally die of malnutrition with full bellies. Unfortunately this is a picture of many Christian, they are filled with the things of the world but die of malnutrition at the same time. Let's feed our hunger with His word, it is milk and meat to our souls. Answer the craving of your soul and let God satisfy your hunger and experience the fullness of your salvation
