God-Shaped Hole

Reading: Proverbs 26-27, Psalm 98, and 2 Peter 2

Scripture: Proverbs 27:7, One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.

Thoughts: We always have a hunger for God, no matter if we believe there is a God or not we were created with a longing in our hearts for God. As both Audio Adrenaline and Plumb wrote “We all have a God-Shaped hole” We continually try to will these God shaped hole with things of this world, yet it never is filled. I see this God-shaped hole not as a static shape but one that is constantly changing and only God can move and adjust to that every changing hole. That is why something will fill that void for a time and then it will come back. When we fill ourselves with the world the sweet honey of God is unappealing but when we allow that hunger for God to lead us to Him who can fill that hole, we will be filled with the love of God like we have never experienced before. 

Prayer: Father God, Fill the God-Shaped holes in our lives, help us to recognize the things of this world that we are trying to use to fill this place in our hearts that only you can fill.
