God satisfies the
thirsty and fills the hungry
with good things. Psalm: 107: 9
Have you ever been so thirsty that you
could drink the whole well down? Have you ever been so hungry that
you would eat anything given to you? If not, these are two wonderful
experiences to go through in life. For some reason these two
experiences have the power to open our heart to experiences that we
will never trade for anything.
These two experiences will also give us
an idea what it is to be thirsty for God in the physical sense of
the term, meaning they are tangible and needed as human beings, and
the longing we need before our desire for God is quenched to our
satisfaction. The more we drink from God's well, the thirstier it
gets but sweeter it will become. The hungrier we get for God, all
that happens in life will become good things that will give us the
strength to face the challenges of life.
I say to myself here, yes, I know all
these theologies and spiritualities. What am I to do? Thirst for God
as much as you would for water
on a very hot, dry day and be hungry for God like the time
you haven't had anything to eat for a long time. Watch closely all
that happens around you, and then you will be pleasantly surprised
to see that they are good things connecting us to God through the
hidden threads of providence. God will satisfy our thirst and hunger
with good things, for our good, whether we know it or not.
