“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” Matthew 5:6
We all have a natural reflex when our bodies need nourishment; when we are hungry our stomach rumbles, when we are thirsty our mouth gets dry. In those moments, often times all we can think about is how to get something to eat or drink.
The same principle applies to our spiritual appetite. When we have withheld from our soul its nourishment from the Word of God and refreshment from His presence in our life our soul begins to crave it. The goal of a disciple should be to feed ourselves regularly, consistently so as not to starve our soul. When your soul begins to feel dry and empty, make sure to give it what it needs, and you will become satisfied.
Today if you are feeling a hunger and thirst in your soul, do not continue to withhold nourishment from it, but rather feed it so that you may continue to grow. For an extra encouragement, read Psalm 63.
