""Blessed [joyful, nourished by God's goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied."

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

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

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Hunger-to be hungry, to be needy, crave, seek with eager desire

Thirst -suffer, thirst for a long time,wanting a soul refresh

Filled-but longing for more.

You have to have the right spiritual appetite.

As we sit in our homes, not able to go to fine dining or local restaurants, it's causing us to make meals at home that suit our appetite.

But do you have an appetite for the Lord? Are you craving the things of Christ?

While we are near our snacks during this time, we should feast on the Word of God. Jesus and chips!

""You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat."

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭MSG‬‬

.

You have to know the food source.

""Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the water; and you without silver, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without silver and without cost! Why do you spend silver on what is not food, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and you will enjoy the choicest of foods."

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:1-2‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Come everyone -it's free food

You can't purchase it because it's free. Something your money can't buy

Jesus offers free salvation as a gift to anyone and everyone who is thirsty and wants to come.

Eat what is good. He is good. Taste and see

.

What do I hunger for?

Power, success, relationships, comfort, happiness

What is my source when I am hungry ?

Am I spiritually malnourished? What nutrients do I need to add to my diet? More Word, more prayer, more worship?
