Moments with Grace: Stay Hungry for God
Pastor Grace DeCuir opens her "Moments with Grace" devotional with heartfelt praise and thanksgiving, inviting viewers into prayer, Scripture, and honest community. She explains the series will include moments of stretching faith, shedding tears and sharing joy, and promises to leave listeners with a short, powerful charge that anchors the teaching.
Hunger: physical, emotional, and spiritual
Using everyday images — waking up hungry, Thanksgiving tables, leftovers and turkey tacos — Pastor Grace draws a clear distinction between physical hunger and the deeper spiritual hunger so many believers feel. She highlights how cravings for status, likes, or comfort can mask the soul’s deeper longing for God. Her vivid examples (family reunions, packed plates, even people bringing containers for leftovers) underscore how natural it is to prepare to be sustained — and how God wants to sustain us spiritually far beyond a single meal.
Jesus feeds, heals, and calls us near
Drawing on Scripture (Jesus’ 40-day fast, Matthew’s accounts of healing and feeding the crowds, John 3:16, Psalm 23, Isaiah 54:17), Pastor Grace reminds us that Jesus is both compassionate provider and the Bread of Life. When crowds were hungry, Jesus would not send them away; he asked, “What do you have?” and multiplied small offerings (seven loaves and a few fish) to feed multitudes. Her message: even small faith — a mustard-seed trust, a widow’s mite — invites Jesus to multiply and minister. She exhorts believers to come to Jesus daily, take his yoke, learn from him, and let him restore rest, peace, and joy.
Practical challenge: stay hungry
Pastor Grace’s practical call is simple but urgent: stay hungry for more of God. Avoid distractions, cultivate daily practices (prayer, Scripture, quiet times), and approach Jesus with whatever you have — even if it feels small. She closes by reminding listeners of the three-word charge and the power of coming to Christ broken, believing, and ready to be fed. Watch the full video to soak in her prayer and the intimate exhortation to remain spiritually hungry and faithfully expectant.
