Day 4 - Real Hunger

"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord."

Deuteronomy 8:2-3

Fasting is a struggle against the flesh and is emotionally and physically demanding; in this we discover what we really hunger for.

Pray

Pray today asking for God to turn all of your hunger pains and cravings toward him. Ask him to teach you to feed on his word and to find satisfaction in his truth as you hunger. Experience the sweetness of his word as you reflect on scripture today.
