You can never get enough of what you are truly hungry for, because hunger keeps you pursuing what you believe will satisfy your soul. The world offers many things—pleasure, success, possessions—but no matter how much you take in, it never fully fills that inner emptiness. Like eating food that only makes you crave more, chasing after worldly things leaves you still longing, still restless, still searching for something deeper and more lasting.

But when you become hungry for God Himself and for His Word, that hunger also can never be truly satisfied, but in a different way.  The greater your hunger, the greater you are stirred to desire more of Him.  The little that we truly know of the vastness of the One we call God cannot fill such a narrow space that inhabits this earth. Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.  (Jeremiah 23:24 KJV) The soul of man is deep and eternal, so is the God who created it; therefore, your soul must be gradually enlarged by you to receive of his fullness.  When you long to draw closer, to know Him deeper, to walk with Him more faithfully, the enlargement will come.

Scripture paints this holy hunger as the normal life of a believer who loves God. The psalmist said, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God” (Psalm 42:1–2, KJV). Peter wrote, “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” (1 Peter 2:2, KJV). And Jesus reminded us that “man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord” (Deuteronomy 8:3, KJV). When you are hungry for God and His Word, you discover a well that never runs dry and a table that is always set, where you can keep coming back and still never get enough of Him
