Have you ever been hungry? I mean, REALLY HUNGRY? I have been blessed to have lived a life where I have never known true hunger. Yeah, there have been times that I may not particularly like what is being served, or that I have not eaten right when I wanted, but I have never known true hunger - for food. I have been hungry to know more about JESUS.
There is an old Gospel song that says, "I want to know more about my JESUS. I want to know more about my LORD.." Have you ever been hungry for JESUS? Have you ever wanted to know more about why GOD, Himself, would come to make a way to have a relationship with us? I am a terrible example at times, but I am truly hungry to know more.
Today's word is Luke 6:21, KJV, which reads, "Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh."
When you are hungry, there is only one remedy - to eat. And, there is nothing like the feeling of eating after you have been hungry. There is only One Thing that will fill our spiritual hunger - JESUS CHRIST. There are lots of folks trying to fill that void in their life, in their heart, in their soul with everything and anything when JESUS is the ONLY THING.
Have you ever noticed that even if you just ate a big meal, it wears off. We can have a ginormous dinner and I will awake tomorrow morning wanting breakfast. Yet, in our spiritual lives, we will sup with JESUS and then not commune with Him again until something bad happens or we need an answer NOW. I know, just like my physical hunger, my spiritual hunger should be a constant reminder that I need spiritual sustenance. So, how's your appetite?
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
