SCRIPTURE: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You access the treasures of God’s Word by the demonstration of spiritual hunger.
The Word of God is a minefield of treasures. In God’s Word is hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge. In the Word of God, we find healing, deliverance, peace, supernatural supplies, victory, etc.
However, the Word of God is veiled or concealed.
Now, what do we do to access the concealed Word of God? What do we do to unveil the content of the book?
The maintenance of spiritual hunger is one way to access the treasures of the Word of God.
Psalm 81:10 says, “I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.”
Opening your mouth implies demonstrating hunger for the Word. It confirms that you are desperate for the Word, and when you are desperate, God will fill you.
Hosea 6:3 says, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.”
You see, it is those who follow on to know that will know. It is those who press on to know that will truly know. Insight belongs to those who are interested. Until you are interested, you can’t be insightful. Knowledge follows hunger. The knowledge of God or of His Word is a response to spiritual hunger. It is a product of spiritual hunger.
Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
Filling belongs to the hungry. Children who demonstrate hunger are fed. Those who don’t demonstrate hunger may be forced to be fed, but in the spiritual realm, no one will force you to feed.
So, you access the treasures of God’s Word by the demonstration of spiritual hunger. Make up your mind to maintain spiritual hunger so you can access the treasures of the Word.
Remember this: You access the treasures of God’s Word by the demonstration of spiritual hunger.
