Debbie and I were walking down a city street a few months ago when we saw a man carrying a cardboard sign which read, "I can't lie, I need money for beer."
And his bucket was full of money!
There are others who are genuinely hungry for food. And need money to go and buy something to eat.
When was the last time you were really hungry? I mean so hungry that you could think of nothing else?
Here's what I know: If the physical man needs to eat numerous times a day for the body to function as it was designed, then how much more does the spiritual person need to eat regularly because the soul is starving to death?
As in the material realm, so we need to eat in the spiritual realm.
In fact, a loss of appetite is one of the great indicators to a doctor of your health.
Consistent loss of appetite is an indication of a much deeper problem.
How hungry are you for spiritual things?
Is coming on a Sunday morning a "half to" or a "get to"?
Do you look forward to reading the Word every day?
When was the last time you paused to have a conversation with God?
Do those cheerful Christians get on your nerves?
Do you analyze a Sunday morning service - rather than participating in worshipping God?
Are you coming on a Sunday morning hungry for God? His presence?
Would you pray with me, "Lord, we just want your presence. We are so hungry."
