The world is hungry for the word of God, and many people thirst after the righteousness and want to be filled.
Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after the right things of God.”
When one doesn’t have Christ on the inside, there is an empty and dry feeling. I want to put myself in that place for a moment remembering when I too was hungry for the words of the Lord. After being filled with the Holy Spirit of God, it made a difference in my life and I became a new person.
Isaiah 55:1 says “Everyone that thirsts, come ye to the waters and drink, he that has no money come.”
Come as you are and He will save you. Salvation is free but you have to be hungry for it, and ye shall be filled.
John 6:35 “Jesus said I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
When one has Jesus as their Father, they will never hunger or thirst.
In our daily living we hunger for the word which is the bread of life. We sing songs in our church sometimes, “I Need A Drink Of Living Water.” The Holy Spirit is a well of water springing up into your soul. It gives you encouragement to continue for Christ.
As Christians, we hunger for our prayer time, Bible study, fellowship and worship. Your relationship with Him prepares you to be involved in your daily walk with Jesus. If we hunger and thirst after righteousness, we will be spiritiually filled.
We wish a happy birthday to Archie Simmons, Rodney Smith, Felicia Green, Antonio Nicholas, Charlene Skipper, Frank Johnson, Chinesta Smith, and Wylonda Wright. Enjoy your special day.
Our daily prayers go out to all of the sick and shut-in, those in the nursing homes, the hospitals, prison, homeless, and all in need of a blessing of help.
