In our comfortable world, many believers find themselves drifting into spiritual lukewarmness despite witnessing God's powerful movement through healings, salvations, and miracles. Studies reveal that younger generations now attend church more frequently than older believers, raising the question of why passion for God often diminishes over time rather than grows stronger. The answer lies in what we sow into our lives—whether we feed our flesh or our spirit.Jesus warned the Laodicean church about the danger of being lukewarm, neither hot nor cold. Their problem wasn't being bad people, but rather their self-sufficient attitude of needing nothing while being spiritually wretched and poor. Several factors can block our spiritual hunger: physical comforts and rigid patterns that prevent availability for God's work, possessions that possess us rather than serve us, religious activity without genuine relationship, and worry-driven distractions that keep us busy instead of sitting at Jesus' feet.To cultivate spiritual hunger, we must choose the one thing needed—intimate time with Jesus—and be willing to taste and see that the Lord is good. This requires breaking comfortable patterns and stepping outside our comfort zones for spiritual growth. Rather than being merely a spark, we're called to be a burning blaze, especially as we witness young people coming to faith in large numbers. The goal isn't to pray for hardship but to cultivate hunger amid abundance, becoming passionate pursuers of God despite having comfort and plenty.
