Hunger


Psalm 37:3-4 

3 Trust in the Lord and do what is right!
Settle in the land and maintain your integrity!

4 Then you will take delight in the Lord,
and he will answer your prayers.

 

 

Hunger

 

Hunger for righteousness is a gift … that depends totally on God.

Spiritual food for spiritual man is the desire to do His will.

Losing self for others … obedience to His Name

is the greatest gift of all as one is Spirit-filled.

 

Remember my dear brothers … that as you bear the cross,

the power of the Spirit fills … the strength of all your needs.

The flesh rules by its own energy … but the Spirit by God’s love.

There is no way you can lose … being in God’s family.

 

God’s Spirit being Holy cannot be contained.

He surely needs an outlet to flow freely to others.

Hindrances are many with obstacles along the way

like sin, pride and coldness and so self to smother.
