Hunger and Thirst

What do you hunger and thirst for? Are you satisfied by receiving what you crave?
God desires to satisfy our right desires.
In the Gospel of Matthew, in the Sermon on the Mountain, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” (Matthew 5:6, ESV).
When we hunger and thirst for the things of God, we are satisfied by God.
God desires to satisfy our hunger and thirst for righteousness, because God is righteous, and God will not neglect to meet our desires when they are in line with his character and with his will.
May we hunger and thirst for the things of God and find ourselves satisfied in him.
A Prayer for the Fourth Sunday of Epiphany: “O God, you know that we are set in the midst of many grave dangers, and because of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright: Grant that your strength and protection may support us in all dangers and carry us through every temptation; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
