What Good Is The Food If You Don't Have The Hunger???

John 4:31-34
If Jesus has food to eat of which we know not of (doing the will of the Father), then He must have a certain hunger which we also know not of.

I desire to know of that food, but what good would it be without the proper hunger for it?

What good is satisfaction if it is not the proper food that is satisfying- What good is food if you do not have the proper hunger for that food?

Food never tastes as good if you do not have the hunger for that particular food. For instance, when I have a craving for ice cream, but chose to eat spinach instead (which I also love), will my craving for ice cream be satisfied? NO- and I'll have a nasty taste left in my mouth. But at the same time, the ice cream is not what will bring proper nourishment to my body. I need to develop a greater hunger for that which will bring the most nourishment to my body.

As a follower of Christ, I crave His Spirit and crave to please Him. Certain things in my life may bring some satisfaction to my flesh, but if it is not pleasing to Jesus and not in His will, I am not truly satisfied deep within. Making lots of money may bring satisfaction to my flesh, but if I am not doing the will of God with that money, it will not satisfy my soul in the end. If I do God's will, but do it begrudgingly, I will definitely not be satisfied.

Deuteronomy 8:3
Pray- cry out to God for a greater hunger for doing His will. He will hear you! When you receive that hunger- that craving for doing the will of God, your satisfaction is so much sweeter!
John 6:48-51
Oh sweet Jesus! I crave You! I so long to do Your will and do it cheerfully- not begrudgingly or with resentment in my heart. I want to feast on the things that are pleasing to You. May the things that break Your heart break mine also. May the things that make You glad make me glad also. You are my Light; You are my Life!
