How To Be Filled!
"Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be filled."
Matthew 5: 6
Newborns don’t know much, but they know when
they are hungry! And adults know the same thing.
At times we may be so busy that we forget to eat
when we should, but our body soon reminds us.
When we are physically hungry, we know
only
one solution: food.
But the same is not true with spiritual hunger.
We think we can satisfy spiritual hunger with
materialism, advancement, entertainment, or
other worldly intake.
But spiritual hunger, lack of purpose, identity, meaning,
or fulfillment, can only be satisfied by taking in more of
God. It was Blaise Pascal who said that there is a God-
shaped vacuum in the heart of every person that can
only be filled by God.
Just as there is a “food-shaped vacuum” in the
human
stomach that can only be filled by food, so God is the
only Bread of Life that can satisfy our spiritual hunger.
Jesus said those who hunger for the righteousness
of God are blessed by the fullness of His presence.
Satisfy your spiritual hunger for Him today.
"They who do not thirst for
righteousness
shall be in perpetual hunger and thirst."
Thomas Watson
