Matthew 5:6
Think about becoming so hungry or dehydrated to the point that your whole body gets the chills, aches, and is about to collapse with fatigue?
Hunger and thirst are natural expressions of the basic human desire and need for food and water. One of the clear indicators that something is wrong physically is when we lose our appetite. It is the same spiritually. To hunger and thirst for God is at the very root of our being. It is the way God made us. When there is no hunger for the things of God, it is an indicator that something is wrong spiritually.
If we are hungry for God, then we will seek after Him and His righteousness, His salvation and His wisdom.
If we seek satisfaction only in earthly things, then something is wrong somewhere. As we seek for God, we will not only find Him, we will find much more. (Matthew 6:33)
May our hunger and thirst for righteousness never grow dull or be quenched by any other desire, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
