It’s Thanksgiving
week. Turkeys are flying out of grocery store freezers, almost by themselves.
OK, maybe not.
But, despite the
difficult economic times in which we live, many Americans are eagerly
anticipating the upcoming turkey feast. We will dig into platefuls of turkey,
stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Lots of gravy.
A loved one, who is
a wonderful cook, has graciously invited us to celebrate Thanksgiving Day at
her table. I’m preparing mashed potatoes, an appetizer, and a couple of
seasonal breads.
I love the sweet
aroma of breads, as they bake. Right now, several tantalizing scents are wafting
through my home. The air is filled with cinnamon, cranberry, and pumpkin. Oh,
how lovely!
The mere smell is
making me hungry again – right after breakfast.
Today’s
Bible promise points to an altogether different sort of bread.
I am the Bread of
Life.
He who comes to Me
shall never hunger,
and he who believes in Me
shall
never thirst.
(John 6:35, NKJV)
Except I
do.
Since I came to
Christ and began to know Him personally, I have found a brand-new hunger and
thirst. And it’s stronger than ever.
I hunger to know
Him more. I thirst for His knowledge, wisdom, and strength. A wholly different
sort of appetite grows within me than I have ever known before.
Maybe you
have the same hunger and thirst.
And, although the
Lord satisfies this desire in our sweet moments together, I pray this hunger
and thirst never subsides. I want to want Him more, until all my less desirable
wishes and wants fade away altogether.
