Day 17: Hunger for the Spirit

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.”

— Psalm 27:4

AW Tozer once said, “Today we see God and stop searching, whereas the early saints sought God, found Him, and continued to seek more of Him.” You know God, but do you hunger for more of God? Fasting reminds us that spiritual hunger is more satisfying than physcial fullness. It shifts our focus away from what is temporary and redirects it to what is eternal. 

Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Fasting empties us of sin and self, making room to be filled with the Spirit's presence and power.

By desiring for more of the Lord, you are giving space for the Spirit to move mightly in your life. As you continue on this fast, let your hunger be a holy cry—one that draws you closer to His heart.
