A Hunger For Him

Just like in the Old Testament, hard times can drive us to seek God with a hunger for Him that is sometimes lessened in easier times. While bad things aren’t always from God, it’s true that God sometimes allows hard things in our lives to drive us to seek Him more. God never disciplines us to punish us. He always disciplines to restore us. What evidence for your love for God could someone see in your life? The greatest evidence is your obedience.

Pause: What hardships has God allowed in your life? Did you respond to these difficulties by drawing closer to Him, or did they push you further away?
