If you want the best pizza, Chicago is the place to go. Interested in a good bagel, there is nothing like those found in New York City. Craving something slow cooked and barbequed, then visit Texas. Looking for a Cajun cuisine look no further than New Orleans, Louisiana a city founded by the French, ruled for 40 years by the Spanish \u2014 and nearly washed away a decade ago by Hurricane Katrina. When our body needs energy, we eat food. But when our soul needs hope, what do we feed it? Yes you can get your belly full traveling all around America but there is nothing compared to sitting down at the kitchen table and being fed by the Word of God.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you sit down and open your Bible, you\u2019re feasting on something that is \u201c<em>more\u2026 desired\u2026 than gold\u2026 sweeter\u2026 than honey<\/em>\u201d (Psalm 19:10). You are chewing and digesting on something that will sustain the spirit and not just the flesh. The prophet Jeremiah said, \u201c<strong>When I discovered your words, I <em>devoured<\/em> them<\/strong>. They are my joy and my heart\u2019s delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God of Heaven\u2019s Armies.\u201d (Jeremiah 15:16, emphasis added).<\/p>\n<p>Followers of Christ should have a healthy appetite for the Word of God. When people lose their appetites, we worry about them. Likewise, if you lose your appetite for God\u2019s Word, you should be concerned. Hungering for spiritual food leads to growth, growth leads to godliness, where your hope is built\u2014and that\u2019s not expensive. It\u2019s priceless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, October 27 Be filled Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
