TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled"
Matthew 5:6
TODAY'S WORD:
In the natural, what do you do when you're hungry for something? Maybe you think of something to eat, but it doesn't quite hit the spot. So you find something else until you are satisfied.
Spiritual hunger works the same way. You may feel a restlessness or unsettledness, but you can't quite figure out what will satisfy it. You may try to fill that need with other things — food, addictions, people — but only God can fill that hunger. Today's verse tells us that righteousness is what satisfies us. When you hunger and thirst for righteousness, God's way of doing things, you will be spiritually satisfied.
Selah people' and friends just like you have to stop what you are doing to take time to eat in the natural, you have to take time to "eat" or partake of the right things spiritually. We have to take time every day and devote it to the Lord in prayer, worship and reading His Word. We have to go the extra mile to stay in fellowship with other believers at church. But remember, when you seek God's ways, you get God's results — life, joy, peace and satisfaction in Him all the days of your life!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise to fill my hunger. I open my heart to You and ask that You draw me by Your Spirit. Teach me to walk in Your ways of righteousness that I may honor and serve You all the days of my life. I bless Your name today. In Jesus' name. Amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
