Intro
What comes to mind when you hear that word?
Death, starvation, suffering, loss, misery, desiese, pestalence.
Terrible images comes to mind of people, nothing but skin over bones.
Whern famine strikes a country - thats the end of many things.
If there is a famine there is no growth.
If there is a fam ine there is no joy.
If there is a famine there is no peace and contentment.
If there is a famine there no no sounds of laughter and rejoytcing, only sounds of weeping and mourning.
Famnine may very well be the worst of all desisters to come upon a group of people.
So the words of God in our test should scare the living day lights out of us:
And so when you hear those words your hearts should sink, your kness should grow weak and fear should grip your heart.
Because as we have seen famine is the end of hope.
The problem that we face regarding this famine is sheer complacency.
Israel did not heed this waring, yea right they said.
And the same is true today.
But this is not a normal famine...
What kind of styrange famine is this?
There is be a famine, but there will be no shortage of water or of food - that does not sound very “faminy” at all.
So if there will be no shortage of water and no shortage of food - then what will be in shortage?
What will there be a severe lack of?
What is going to be so scarce trhat peole will:
people will wonder from one side of the land to the other looking for it.
That word wonder, means to walk to without a destination in mind.
Its an aimless, purposless, goalless, meaningless existance.
A judgment worse food shortage.
A state worse than deydration.
What is this thing that is in short supply that brings such hoplessness to people?
The Word of God
Notice - there is not a famine of the actual Word itself - the bible remains the best seeling book of all time.
The famine is that no one will want to hear what it says.
And so extention - do what it says and beleiev what it says.
And so you end up with people who will one day expereince the terrible situation Jesus described:
“Lawlesness” those without the law of God.
This is a dire situation.
Jesus said:
All of the consequnces of a natural famine exists in this famine.
In the same way that life is not possible without physical sustinace, physical life is not possible without the daily bread of God’s word.
Without the Word There can be no growth, no joy, no peace, no laughter, no rejoycing.
Pestalence always follows famine - famine leaves people weak, and the lack of water makes sanitation impossible.
In the same way: Fear always follows a spiritual famine.
If there is a famine of hearing the Word, then there will be a severe lack of faith and an increase of fear because:
You can tell there is a famine by the amont of suffering, you can tell there is a famine oif the word by the amount of fear.
God wants to tell each of you: Arise and Eat.
