“I’m Hungry”
MAY 19, 2023
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Matthew 5:6
Recommended Reading: Matthew 5:1-12
Why are we hungry so often? Well, it’s simple. After we eat, our stomachs pass the food along through our gastrointestinal tract, and then they are empty again. And the process only takes about two hours. Our now empty stomachs send messages to our brains saying, “Give me something more to do!” The brain switches on our hunger pangs, and we start looking forward to our next meal.
In the same way, we should have a recurring craving for the spiritual food God provides the soul. The Bible talks about hungering for righteousness (Matthew 5:6). The psalmist says, “My soul thirsts for God” (Psalm 42:2). And Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).
We need a constant diet of heavenly manna, and we need to pass the blessings on to others. Our world is hungering for the Bread of Life. As we share the Living Bread—Christ—with others, we provide them with the opportunity to be inwardly satisfied.
For me, opening up God’s Word [is] like a banquet feast…. Nourishment for my soul.
