I Can't Get No....

Scripture: Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Luke 6:21

Observation: Those who are hungry now—physically and spiritually—are blessed because God will satisfy them later. Maybe later in life or ultimately in the kingdom.

Application: Jessica and I spent a day hungry yesterday, and did not realize it until we talked late last night. Hungry for something we are longing for God to do. Hungry because our needs outweigh our haves. With our needs, we agreed God could provide and that our hunger is due in part to choices we have made to try to honor Him with our finances. But we still are hungry. In the other area, the jury is still out. I still don’t see His satisfaction on the horizon. But if I am hungering for the right thing, I have to hold out hope God will keep his word and satisfy me.

Prayer: God, help us hunger for the right things. Increase our hunger for you and your kingdom. Fill us with the hope of satisfaction.

Hi Thomas,
I just stumbled across your devotional blog and it is wonderful - such a blessing to me today! I've added a link to here on my blog - please let me know if that's not ok and I'll remove it. Thanks for letting the Holy Spirit minister and witness through you!
