"Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be filled."
Matthew 5: 6
Why are we hungry so often? It’s simple.
After eating, our stomachs pass the food
along through our gastrointestinal tract,
and then they are empty again. And the
process only takes about two hours.
Our empty stomachs send messages to our
brains saying, “Give me something more to
do!” The brain switches on
our hunger pangs,
and we start looking forward to our next meal.
In the same way, we must have a craving
for spiritual food God provides the soul.
Bible talks of hungering for righteousness
(Matthew 5:6). Psalmist says, “My soul
thirsts for God” (Psalm 42:2).
Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God” (Matthew
4:4).
Our world hungers for the Bread of Life.
As we share Christ with others, we provide
them with the opportunity to be
inwardly
satisfied.
"For me, opening up God’s
Word is like a banquet feast….
Nourishment for my soul."
