Hungry?

Four felines longingly looking at a meal that is so close yet so far away. I love this shot. What more can I say?

How hungry are you? Are you hungry for something that is just beyond your reach? Maybe a new car or a new job? Maybe a different spouse or a little more money? Maybe these are indicators of a deeper hunger: the hunger for peace and satisfaction. The hunger for truth.

Jesus said, "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Mat. 5:6)" That is quite a promise. It seems too good to be true. But have you tried it? The Psalmist exclaimed, "O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. (Ps. 34:8)" I think if we find ourselves hungering for what we do not have then we need to examine our hungers and see if we are hungering amiss. Maybe we need more of the truth and righteousness of Christ. Maybe we need a renewing or maybe we need to be filled with Him in the first place.

"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." - Revelation 21:6
