Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6

 

Today’s verse brings a vision to mind of a momma bird flying back to her nest to feed her little babies. With their heads held high, mouths wide open, they eagerly wait for momma to drop a morsel of food into their tiny mouths. Yet, one of the babies is trying to feed on a bug that landed on the nest and has difficulty catching it. In the end, he went hungry, while the other birds are fed and nourished.

 

By now you are probably wondering if I was asleep, dreaming this stuff up. I promise I was awake. But, let me share the correlation between today’s verse and my vision.

 

Do you want a blessing from God? I think we all do. Yet, we are oftentimes like that little baby bird, distracted by the things of this world, and we miss God’s blessing when we take our eyes off Him and rely on our own resources to keep us satisfied. Just like the momma bird, God has something very satisfying to share with you, but you must hunger for it. He won’t give it to you unless your desire is for Him.

 

Need a blessing in your life? Hunger for God’s goodness, live a life of righteousness, and protect yourself from the things of this world and God’s blessings will keep you satisfied in life! God bless!
