Women & Men Who Worship Devotional
By Brenda L. Gittens
If we are hungry and thirsty enough like that for the Lord, then we should do the same thing. Find a way, no matter what time or what day into His awesome presence, desire more and more of Him and His powerful word, to "eat and drink." He has created each one of us with a yearning deep inside to go farther beyond ourselves for satisfaction and fulfillment. Our Father knows, and we as believers and worshipers know too, that this deep hunger and unquenchable thirst is satisfied and fulfilled only in and through His Son Jesus Christ, nothing else. I don't know why I'm saying this (spirit alert!), but I'm not ashamed at all to say it. It may help someone else. I may lose it all, but I'm not losing Jesus! (Philippians 4:11-13).

We’ve been hearing a lot in the media lately about food, beverages, and calories! When we get "so" hungry and thirsty, what will we do? We'll go and get something to eat and drink won't we? It may be in our kitchen or at our favorite sit down restaurant. If we're driving, we'll pull into one of those drive-thru fast food places. If we don't feel like it or don't want to cook, we can have something delivered right to our door. Even grocery stores have cooked meals ready for purchase. No matter what, we're going to get something to satisfy our empty stomach and dry throat.
He is the "living water" (John 4:1-38), the "living bread" (John 6:48-58), and He's looking for some "hungry" and "thirsty" folks that are craving to be more and more like Him. How hungry and thirsty are you? Let Him quench your thirsty spirit and nourish your hungry soul. He's waiting to satisfy you, whether you're in the "kitchen" or at a "sit down, fast food, or take out restaurant." If you're hungry and thirsty for Him, filled you will be!
PRAYER: Bread and Water of Life, we thank You for satisfying the deep spiritual hunger and thirstiness of our spirit and soul. Without You, we could not survive. Teach us to go to You continually to feed on Your presence through prayer and worship, and to feed on Your word and drink from Your streams of living, refreshing water. Amen.

Comments (1): "I may lose it all, but I'm not losing Jesus! (Philippians 4:11-13). Let Him quench your thirsty spirit and nourish your hungry soul. He's waiting to satisfy you, whether you're in the "kitchen" or at a "sit down, fast food, or take out restaurant. If you're hungry and thirsty for Him, filled you will be!" And for me this is just what He did. When I felt alone, defeated, unloved, but always needed! When I was down to my last dime and at the end of my rope. I cried out for Jesus literally. Mind you, I had sought Him before, in fact, I knew Him well but I hadn’t thirsted for Him. Until I realized I did not know Him intimately…and the rest is history! My Lord. When you earnestly seek Him….Thank God! Let Me Be Your Witness… Got To Go!! I am about to get my praise on… Thank You for reminding me of how blessed I am to Really KNOW the Lord My God. Thanks for keeping it real and telling it like IT...IS! - Debbie in Indiana
