When was the last time you were hungry? I mean really hungry? When was the last time that you hungered and thirst after righteousness?
There will be times when our souls will starve to the spiritual nourishment that only God can fulfill.
There are things in this word that advertise fulfillment. Maybe it's Oprah and her new network, maybe it's being able to flex with P90X. But these will prove to be unfulfilling and saturated with spiritual MSG.
Let's not be home sick for the days of yesterday, But look towards the author and perfecter of our faith.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. Be blessed today!!

Hosea 8
Vs. 2-3 Unfortunately, there will people that will stand before God and know of him but truly not know Him. This reminds us that a person who only knows about the Lord in his head without his heart can actually miss heaven by 18 inches.
Vs 4-7. How much do you want to be like everyone else, drive the same car, have the same bland I mean brand of cloths, live in the same neighborhood. Here Israel is doing everything that they can to keep up with the Jones'. They are fashioning idols so they can fit in with the rest of the neighboring nations. God didn't intend for you to fit in. He created you specifically and individually, embrace your individuality and seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.
Vs. 8-11 Not until Israel was in captivity would they understand the error of their ways. Sin blinds us to our own wrong doing, That is why the conviction of the Holy Spirit is essential in our lives. Search and know my heart David says. Know us God that we may know ourselves.
Vs. 12. This is great. There are many times I sat where you do during a sermon or bible study and have thought if only so and so were here to hear this. We must understand the Word of God is intended for us the hearers. We are in great danger when we think it's intention is for someone else.
13-14 Doesn't this remind you of American Churches today with all our programs, facilities, music, preaching. We have to ensure that we never loose that personal, intimate relationship with the Lord. True life is in intimacy with the Lord.
