WHEN WE SEEK THE THINGS OF THE LORD,
HE WILL PROVIDE THEM
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will
find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
(Matthew 7:7)
BIBLE PASSAGE:
He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give
to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.”
(Revelation 21:6)
MEDITATION:
God says that only those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness will receive it. He doesn’t force His
manna on anyone, it is something He freely gives
us so we can receive it “without cost”. It has already
been paid for by His Son, Jesus.
We must have a desire for it above everything else. It
must be like a gnawing hunger and a burning thirst.
And when it is absent, we should remain hungry and
thirsty for it. The best athletes don’t rely on just their
natural talent; they continue working to improve their
skills in order be even better.
Successful people in all areas of life know that in order
to be successful, they have to apply the things they know,
and keep learning. If they fail to do this, they will not
maintain status quo, but their skills will actually begin
to deteriorate. In the world of righteousness, we call it
“backsliding”.
We must continue to discover and use the gifts God has
given us if we want to prevent them from becoming
inferior and causing us to backslide in our faith and
service to our Lord.
ACTION:
Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness? Are you
treading water, trying your best to maintain a position
of status quo? Seeking righteousness demands much
more than that of us. We will not find whatever we are
not seeking.
Pray,
“Heavenly Father, thank You for how You bless me in
so many ways. Without Your spiritual food, my soul is
parched and I remain hungry and thirsty. Help me to
overcome the things that get in the way of my desire to
remain close to You. Increase my hunger and thirst for
Your righteousness.”
