Blessed Are They That Hunger and Thirst – Paul M. Williams

Matthew 5:6 There are some things that you cannot give to a man in this life, and one of those things is an appetite.  You can set a plate of food before a man sick with an illness and he's no stomach for it, even it be his favourite meal!  In fact, rather than crave the food, he's repulsed by it...and you know, when we open the door to sin in our lives and we allow worry and unbelief to consume us; when we go wondering in our hearts after the world's possessions; do you know what happens?  The hunger and thirst for righteousness in our lives are quenched. Do you hunger and thirst after righteousness? "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled".  What a promise!!!  We can have as much righteousness as we have the appetite for!!  Oh God, what is hindering me from moving forward?  What is stopping me from climbing higher?  God is always wanting to take His people up higher, the question is, are we willing?
