Bible Verse of The Day – 3-26-19

Matthew 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

Hunger means to have a strong desire or to crave something.

Some people may think that signing up for every program at church is going to fill that hunger and quench that thirst. Although it is good to be involved in classes and similar things, we also need to make sure we are getting that one-on-one time with God. That includes being quiet and just listening for Him.

To get such quietness we need to lessen our load, slow down and cut off those things that are causing us to be too busy for anything else.

Hungering after God means that within our hearts we are craving and desiring more of Him. But it is hard to get that fulfillment if we are busy with everything else.

Sometimes the things we do to try to find God get us so busy that we actually lose touch with Him. We have to discern and know when to pull away and rest in His presence. He alone will satisfy our hunger.

So, remember, programs are Good. But God is the only One who will truly satisfy!

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
