In Exodus 16, God provided manna for the children of Israel as they journeyed through the wilderness. We’ve heard the story before: they began to complain against Moses and Aaron because they were hungry. They asked, “Why would you bring us out here to die? At least we had meat and bread in Egypt. We’re worse off now than where we were before.” Be careful longing for the past when God has delivered you and instructed you to move forward to your destiny. Don’t let the trap of comfort keep you from your promise of destiny.
You ever notice how your temperament changes when you are hungry? There’s even a goofy word for it now: hangry. We get cranky and mean sometimes, just because we need something to eat. When we are hungry, we become motivated to act. Think about that for a moment. Hunger drives us to act. Be aware of what drives your hunger, and I’m not just talking about in the physical sense, because it influences how you will act.
And what are you truly hungry for? (Because thatleads you to do something about it.) Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” I’ll ask again, what are you hungry for? For some, it may be material gain. For others, it may be a closer relationship with family. Still others, it may be promotion on the job. Some hunger for power. And some simply want to be closer to God. You may even seek a combination of these. But remember, Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
