Many feel the yearning, but do not recognize that it is spiritual in nature. They feel a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction with life. So many people are thinking, “There must be something more to life. What am I missing?”

Main Points:
1. People try to assuage their spiritual hunger with pleasure, relationships, travel, shopping, sports, substances like alcohol and drugs. Satisfaction is pursued with attempts to make more money, buy more things, and to have more fun. None of these things will ever be enough.
2. Only Jesus can satisfy our spiritual hunger. Why? Because God designed us in such a way. Only God can fill the void in our soul. A relationship with Jesus is so nourishing and so satisfying that we will wonder why we neglected Him for so long. We will wonder why we bought into the deception of this world it could offer what we needed.
3. Jesus is makes us a promise. The only one who always keeps His word is giving you a guarantee. He says “you will be filled.” You will be satisfied, you hunger will be met, your deep longings will be gratified in Christ.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Psalm 107:9 - “For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.”

Matthew 5:6 - “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.”

Psalm 34:8 - “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”
