I learned a long time ago that what you feed your soul matters. If we feed ourselves on social media or anything else we won’t be hungry for God.
There are three keys to having a spiritual hunger for God. It involves actively pursuing God through consistent practices like prayer, worship, and reading the Bible along with intentionally associating ourselves with spiritually minded people, while cultivating a deliberate choice and the discipline to seek Him, even when we don’t feel like it. This is where true satisfaction comes from God, and not worldly things.
There are three keys to having practices I believe that help us become spiritually Hungary for God:
- Consistent engagement with God’s Word and prayer: Treat scripture as spiritual food, read it daily for nourishment, and actively engage in prayer, asking God to stir up your desire for Him.
- 2. Community connection and righteous influence: Surround yourself with people who are hungry for God, your appetite is influenced by your associations.
- 3. Intentional choice and action: Don’t wait for feelings, use self-control to seek God through prayer, worship, and seeking Him, even when motivation is low. This helps us to understand that action itself builds a deeper desire for God.
By actively choosing to pursue God through these three disciplines, we can build a deeper appetite for Him, finding fulfillment that the world cannot provide.
The average person spends two to five hours on social media per day. Imagine if that time was spent connecting with God through prayer, worship, and reading the Bible, what a different world this would be.
