More Lord!
Psalm 63:1 says "O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water". Jesus is not using "hunger" or "thirst" as we would describe the emptiness or dryness we feel between meals, but a hunger or thirst that seemingly can never be satisfied. With physical appetite, this would be a hunger and thirst that, even after a full meal with plenty of drink, we would still feel as though we could eat and drink much more! One commentator describes it as, "a hunger of the man who is starving for food, and the thirst of the man who will die unless he drinks". Ever been that thirsty? It paraphrases the modern day cry of "More Lord!"
