Hungry for God

Matthew 5:6 (NIV) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

When we are hungry for God, God will satisfy us.  The more we desire from God, the more we will receive.  The closer we get to God, the closer He gets to us.

James 4:7-8a (NIV) Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.

Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV) ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ 

Hunger for God; desire more from God; seek God.
