Daily Devotional (January-02-2025) Stay hungry
Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:6 - Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Jesus said a lot of strange things. You would think that blessings were to be filled. That blessing was to have all you need for food and drink. Now, Jesus is not talking about physical food or drink but rather spirituality. He said you are blessed as long as you stay hungry. In other words, do not be satisfied. Never be contempt.
Of all the churches in Asia Minor described in Revelation, there is one in particular that God despises. He says He wants to spew them out of His mouth. It is the Laodicean church. They said: We have need of NOTHING… When we have no needs, we don’t need God. As long as we have need, we seek Him. And that is the key to a blessing. You may think materialism is a blessing. It is rather a curse. A recent poll in Norway shows that the majority does not believe in God. They have no need for Him. There’s nothing that facilitates revival more than need.
Let us never be satisfied. Let us always hunger for more of God. Hunger for souls to be saved. Hunger for a deeper move of God.
The most dangerous thing for an athlete is to be contempt. They can never sit down and think, now I have got what I want. They always have to push for new goals. If they ae to win, they must stay hungry.
First place will go to the one that wants it the most. The Bible encourages us to run so we may obtain the prize. And the only way we can do that is to stay hungry.
