Today, go out into life and be hungry for more – much more – of God.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. My husband Ken coached high school football for years. Once I asked him who were his favorite kids to train, and this is what he said. He said, "The ones who are hungry. It's never the so-called star athletes who saunter out on the field, convinced they've got their skills down pat. No, I see a talented boy like that and I think, there's a kid who has stopped growing and doesn't want to grow." Well friend, guess what? Jesus thought the same thing about his disciples. He was looking for followers who hunger and thirst after righteousness. Are we hungry to do the right thing? Is there an itching in our soul that groans to live right? That longs to know Jesus? No spiritual hunger says we’ve stopped growing. How better to think, there's so much about me that needs to change and, man, I want to work with God to change it! Today, go out into life and be famished for more – much more – of God.
