Seek the Lord [inquire for Him, inquire of Him, and require Him as the foremost necessity of your life]. — Zephaniah 2:3 AMP
If God were water, we would thirst for Him each day. If He were food, we would hunger for Him. If He were air, we would breathe Him into our lungs twelve to twenty times a minute. Yet God, our Creator, is all these things and more.
If we need these basic necessities for our daily physical existence, why then do we so easily allow our spirits to starve by not opening our Bibles?
When Jesus fasted and prayed in the desert for forty days, the devil tempted Him by urging Jesus to turn stones into bread. And even though Jesus was famished, He answered, “Man shall not live on bread alone” (Luke 4:4 NIV).
There is more to this life than basic survival. Our bodies hunger for one thing and our spirits for another.
Thankfully, God provides a daily portion for us through Scripture, which is manna for the soul.
FAITH CHECK
We all have problems in this life, worries, concerns, sad situations, and important decisions to make. Most importantly, we all have questions we need the answers to. To find “The Answer,” open your Bible and read. Feed your spirit with good soul food!

How Much More?
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him! — Luke 11:13 NIV
Suppose a friend rang your doorbell in the middle of the night asking for a loaf of bread. Now, if a friend were in real trouble most of us would gladly, if not sleepily, give them whatever they needed. But wake you up for a lousy loaf of bread in the wee hours of the night? You would likely be aggravated with that friend for disturbing your sleep and waking your entire family, including your pets. You’d want to turn over and go back to dreamland. But you can’t because that pesky friend just keeps on knocking on your door. So, you grudgingly come downstairs in your pink hippopotamus pajamas, grab the bread from your pantry, hand it over, and send that friend on their way.
FAITH CHECK
Jesus shared this parable as an example of persistence in our prayer life. A fortiori parable in the Bible is one that poses the question “How much more?” If we can be obstinate enough to ask others for help, we must also be obstinate enough to continue in our prayers and requests to God, who, so much more than a fickle friend, will give us what we need.
Plus, God never sleeps, and He certainly doesn’t wear pink hippopotamus pajamas.
