Let your hunger pangs remind you of Christ’s hunger in the wilderness. The Spirit who led Jesus into the wilderness (Matthew 4:1) is the same Spirit who sustains you in your own hunger. Remind yourself of Christ’s thirst on the cross (John 19:28)—when the soldiers heard him cry out they gave him a sponge full of sour, bitter wine. Remember that because of our sin, we deserve that sour, bitter drink with its wrath and condemnation.
