There are many needs in the world we live in today. Things have changed, so have people. It is not so easy to figure it out, but if you just go to the book of life, which is the Bible, and relax ourselves for a little.
Matthe 5:6 – “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.” When I read the words of this scripture, something on the inside of me begins to feel empty and dry. Just for a moment, I want to put myself in that place – remembering a time in my life when I was hungry for the word of the Lord.
After being filled with the Holy Spirit of God, it made the difference in my life and I became a new person.
Isaiah 55:1 says “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!” Salvation is free but you have to be hungry for it. Give your heart, soul, mind, and all your strength to the Lord.
Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. He  that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)
In Matthew 5:20 Jesus said unto us that “except our righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes and the pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” In our daily living, we hunger for the world of life, which is God’s word – that is where we get our daily strength, in Him.
We thirst for a drink of living water. The Holy Spirit is a well of water that springs up into us. It gives you encouragement to continue working for Christ.
