Matthew 5:6 (New International Version)

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

Are you still feeling as if you are not getting enough to eat? Does it seem like no matter what you eat it just isn't enough? Are you just not getting satisfied? Are just not feeling full? Are you about ready to abandon this journey?

Maybe you're eating the wrong thing. Maybe you are trying to be satisfied with and by the wrong food. Could it be you are only feeding your body? This verse makes it clear that is not enough.

This verse from the Beatitudes addresses just that subject. In order to be truly filled and satisfied we must feed our spirit. We must hunger for the righteousness or goodness of God. It is only by feasting on His goodness that we will be filled in such a way that we are beyond satisfied. The things or foods of this world will never be enough. Only the presence of God in our lives can truly fill us.

Feast on God's righteousness and never hunger again. Now there is the source of true strength for this journey.

Peace and Grace,
Don
John 3:30
