Working For Us!

When people are full, there is often little desire to do much. On the other hand, hunger can serve as a powerful motivator for getting out and earning enough to feed oneself.

Solomon noted…
“A WORKER’S APPETITE WORKS FOR HIM; HIS MOUTH URGES HIM ON.” ( Proverbs 16:26 ESV)

Though this worker may work for someone else, his own APPETITE is described as working “for him” to motivate earning what would ultimately provide nourishing strength to the body. Though we serve the Lord as the Master of our life, do we have an APPETITE that motivates us to press on? Do we possess a hunger we know can only find true satisfaction through life lived in connection with Jesus? In life we experience the necessities of strengthening both the body and the spirit and only the right cravings can bring true satisfaction. APPETITE can either work for us or against us. We therefore need to be mindful of what it is we are craving.

Jesus promised…
“Blessed are those who HUNGER AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, for they SHALL BE SATISFIED.” ( Matthew 5:6 ESV)

When the craving is felt for something one feels they’ve just got to have, one can be powerfully compelled toward it and receive the blessing. May we recognize that great need with regard to spiritual matters as we maintain a craving for the righteousness of God.

Have a great day DEVELOPING A CRAVING THAT WORKS IN OUR FAVOR!
