Hungry and thirsty

I would dare say that I have never been "starving", though I have uttered that expression before. I have been very blessed that while I may not have had what I "wanted" to eat, I have never been without something to eat. I am truly blessed.

A body will not last long without food and water. Statistics and estimates state that the human body can go for about twenty-one days without food, but only about seven days without water. We have to have food and water, sustenance, for our physical bodies.

Today's word is Matthew 5:6, KJV, which reads, "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled."

Just as our physical bodies need nourishing and replenishing, so too does our spiritual body. When our physical body is hungry, we began to crave certain things: ice cream, hamburger, salad, broccoli, etc. What about our spiritual? What is your spiritual body hungering and thirsting for? You know the old saying, "There are two dogs living inside me, a good dog and a bad dog. Do you know which one defeats the other? The one I feed the most." Are you feeding your spiritual body as much as your physical?

You only eat when you're hungry. Are you hungry for GOD and His word? Are you hungry for what He has in store for you? Are you hungry for His will and His direction? If you are, today's verse says that you are "Blessed," and that you "will be filled". Just as sitting down to a good meal makes us want to sit down to another, we should also feel that way about sitting down and communing and supping with GOD. If you want to be fully satisfied, seek GOD hungry and thirsty.

Be Blessed,
