“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  for they will be filled.”  Matthew 5:6

When you get hungry enough, you will get something to eat! We need to grow our hunger for God and the things of God!  If you have ever lived in His presence and power, then you know that this is the place that you want to go back to!

Time is important! And what you do with your time will show who and what you really love!  If you are really hungry for God, then you will take and make time to spend with Him.  He will be more important than anything else!  Spending time with God is not optional for the person who is hungry for God, if they seek to have their hunger satisfied!

Invest Your Time Wisely! Find a good church, not a building, but people who you can help and who help you to be your best for God!  Become a part of that church by being there and participating and helping it to do it work in bringing glory to God.  Take time everyday at the beginning of the day to get your heart and life focused on God and His Word.  Take time to talk to Him and listen for Him!  Keep a record of what you say to Him and what He says back to you!

If you are hungry, there is food to satisfy, but you have got do your part, if you expect to be filled!

“If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.”  Galatians 5:25

The verses right before this verse tell us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance!  We toil almost everyday to earn money and position, so that we might purchase these things.  We buy things every week, only to discover that what they do bring is only temporary.

The qualities mentioned above cannot be purchased, but they can be received into our lives, as we learn to live in, listen to and love our Creator!  When we seek to live a life yielded to the Spirit, the natural by-product is a life that is filled by the Spirit and a life that is filled by the Spirit experiences love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance!

We don’t live to produce these qualities, we produce these qualities as we live in a trusting love relationship with the Spirit!  Love and trust today and watch the fruit come into season tomorrow!

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.”  Ephesians 6:10

The only way to make it through another day is by finding strength to depend on, a strength that is greater than your own personal strength!  It does not matter how strong we are, we are still weak under the pressures and challenges of this world that we live in.

The good news is that we are not dependent upon our strength alone to make it through this day.  We have the strength of the Lord waiting to assist us as we face the worst that life has to throw at us.

We have His mighty power that is ready to come flooding in and wash away the frustrations and challenges of life.  Remember today:  You are not in this battle alone.  Your Creator is with you and He has just what you need to make it through to the blessing that He has waiting for you!  G3!
