Blessed are Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. -Matthew 5:6

                Being satisfied, can that ever happen? We are in the hottest months of the year, and as I type this in late June, I’m sure in late August it’s still the case. We are sweating, we are sweltering, it’s just insanely uncomfortable, we cannot wait for winter. Then winter comes, and well, it’s too cold, it’s freezing, can’t wait for summer!

                Gosh friends, we cannot just be happy. Nothing’s ever good enough with the weather. We don’t have enough rain, too much rain, no snow, too much snow. For everyone, their ideal weather is different.

                Now I think of our faith and isn’t that the same way. Everyone’s lense into their faith is different. Everyone has a different idea of how they are following Jesus. Everyone has a different thought on how they are satisfied and blessed and what causes that state.

                However, one thing we all should be considering is our verse. Should we not all be hungering and thirsting for God’s wor​d upon us, and for us to seek God’s leading and guidance. Shouldn’t we as believers be so eager to allow Jesus to reign in our hearts and help us along the journey. Shouldn’t we be jumping for joy Jesus has blessed us with abundance which completely defies imagination.

                When you stop and think about it, our earthly basics generally are covered. We have what we need, Yet we still want to complain. But if we’re truly hungry and thirsting for Jesus, are we not called to be concerned with truly just being his hands and feet. Are we not supposed to just say, Jesus, however you want to use me, just do it!

                Are you satisfied friends however Jesus will use you? Are you satisfied with even the things which might not always be there you might like, in order that you might be totally satisfied in striving after following Jesus and praising God every day for what you have! Maybe in the world, the weather, our lives, our times may always be changing, but in Jesus’ blessing no matter what​, if we truly are giving thanks and looking to him, we should always be blessed and more than satisfied!

To God be the glory
