Blessed Are They That Hunger & Thirst After Righteousness

 

    Matthew 5:6

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

THE SEEKERS HEART

    Psalm 63:1

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou are my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh longs for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.

    Psalm 107:9

For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

    Psalm 84:2

My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

EAT WHAT I'M GIVEN

    Bread of Heaven for the hungry. Living Water for the thirsty. Wine for the aching and sorrowful. Word tastes like Honey. 

    Jeremiah 15:16

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.

    Psalm 119:103

How sweet are Your words to my taste--sweeter than honey in my mouth!

    Ezekiel 2:8

"And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you."

    Job 23:12

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

    Proverbs 30:8

Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.

    Psalm 16:5

The LORD is My Chosen Portion and My Cup; You have made my lot secure.

There's Honey In The Rock For You

There's Honey In The Rock for You

Deuteronomy 32:13 "He (The LORD) made him (Jacob/Israel) ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and He made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock." 

This chapter tells us not only Who the Rock is, but that God's chosen people wanted it not. See verse 15? It says "But". All the goodness which God wanted to give His people, He could not, because they turned their backs on Him and went after other gods. 

We learn they were a faithless generation (verse 20) and would be judged for the wickedness of their heart and the things they had done, before He could bless them again. 

Are we now seeing again a faithless generation, who chase after gods and are self-righteous in their own worth? It is not only vanity that repeats itself, but arrogance and forgetting. Forgetting the holiness of God, forgetting that God wreaks vengeance  and judgment on they (we) who have little regard and much disdain for the things of God. 

And what can we say on an individual basis? Only God sees our hearts, but we see each other's lifestyles. 

Yes, there's Honey (the blessings of God) in The Rock (The Word of God) for us (through our obedience to His Word and His Will plus our faith in His Promises). I have eaten that Honey in The Rock. And it is sweet to the taste.
