Spiritually Hangry

Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

It doesn't matter how old you are, whether you're a one-year old or ninety years old. Everyone gets hangry. You're not yourself. That's how important food is to us. Which God knew. And hangry is what the people of Israel became in the wilderness. They got irritable and bad-tempered. They grumbled and complained. But God didn't snap back at them. He game them meat to eat, and sent bread from heaven. Did you ever consider, we can also get hangry spiritually. Just as we need nourishment in the body, so we need nourishment in the soul as well.
