Friday's Footnote

Matthew 5:6

 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Good morning, and a Fabulous Friday to each of you!

My husband preached about A Hunger to Change this past Wednesday night, and my heart was stirred because I never want to feel that I have had my fill of the Lord. Never! I want my appetite for God to grow above and beyond my desires for things that do not satisfy. According to Jesus, those that "hunger and thirst after righteousness" are blessed, and "they shall be filled."

Another verse I have loved for a long time is found in Luke 1:58 - "He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." Those who are hungry receive; those who are filled up with themselves are sent away. How terrible to be sent away from the presence of the Lord, all because there is no hunger.

My prayer today is that I will always desire more of Jesus. With each passing day, to want Him more and more and more, just like this old song conveys:

I want more of Jesus

More and more and more

I want more of Jesus than I've ever had before

I want more of His great love

So rich and full and sweet

I want more of Jesus

So I'll give Him more of me

May our appetites be whet for more of Jesus each and every day!

Until tomorrow, Lord willing..........
