Some things we
want are really bad? Are the things you
want the best things? Are you pursuing
God or one of millions of other things?
What we want says a lot about us.
Philippians 4:11
NASB
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned
to be content in
whatever circumstances I am.
That is the verse the Apostle Paul shared with a group of
people that he loved and was struggling.
Literally he said I have learned how to live with much, and he turned
the other direction to say that he learned how to live with almost nothing.
Even King David asked God to help him stay close by not
giving him too much or too little. It is
easy to be unbalanced and to want things that keep us away from God. Something we need to learn.
Matthew 5:6 NASB
Blessed are those who
hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
What are you hungry for?
Not always easy to answer. Yet
the more we want God, the more of our lives will be filled with God and what He
has for us. It is also then that we will
see God work in more and awesome ways in and through our lives.
Are you we hungry for real righteousness? That is for the understanding and gratitude
that God through Jesus has changed our lives.
2 Corinthians
5:21 NASB
He made
Him who knew no sin to be sin
on our behalf, so that we
might become the righteousness of
God in Him.
God offers Himself to each of us. May we be found totally hungry for God. Longing for Him more than we want anything
else. It is free. He offers Himself. Yet we think at times that we have to be good
or do more. God says just want me and I
will fill you with the best!
Isaiah
55:1 NASB
Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And
you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without cost.
