Hunger of spiritually living Christians

Hunger to worship God

”True Christians truly seek the Kingdom of God first (Mat. 6:33).
Spiritually living Christians hunger for each opportunity to worship God and fellowship with other Christians (cf. Psa. 95:6; Mat. 5:6; Acts 12:12; etc.).
Cross-centered saints do not look for “reasons” to miss worship and Bible study with other saints!
It is incongruous to think of a spiritual-minded person (cf. 1 Pet. 2:5)
battling with the decision (?) of whether or not to attend.
May each of us develop the yearning of David and say,
“I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord” (Psa. 122:1).”
