Looking for hungry people

You see, the host wanted those at his dinner who really wanted to be there. People who were really hungry. The Bible says, “You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat” Matthew 5:6.

God’s dinner would not appeal to someone whose appetite has already been satisfied with lollipops and other things. Things like making a lot of money, owning a new house or car, or watching the latest movies.

Then, there are others who are so satisfied with God, that they would rather give up anything rather than miss out on God. God has to be real. All those who love God and like being with him, can’t just be imagining their hunger is satisfied.

God says, “There’s still room. I want my house full!” Why not accept God’s invitation: “Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see--how good God is” Psalm 34:8!
