Matthew 5:6 - Blessed are
those who hunger & thirst for righteousness, they will be filled.
Few
of us know what it’s really like to be hungry or thirsty. In ancient world it
was different – many were never far from starvation. For many food was scarce
& water was a precious commodity. This helps us to have a better
understanding of what Jesus is saying.
Let
me phrase it as a question. How much do you want to be right with God – how
much do you want to please Him? As much as a starving man wants food or man
dying of thirst wants a drink?
Many
don’t know what it’s like to be blessed because they’ve never hungered after
the things of God. God promises that He will fill us if we hunger for Him. God
Himself is the only thing that can satisfy the deepest desires of your heart.
God
Bless,
Tim
I can never get enough of God's word, I always pray for wisdom and understanding, yet I am very simple minded and feel GOD shows me in simple ways just how blessed I am daily, and my struggles are always part of my blessings. Thanks Pastor Tim, GOD sure allows me to understand alot more easier with your help in explaining. Loving the lessions!!
