"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled." Matt. 5:6. Appetite is a motivator. If you are hungry you pursue what you are hungry for. You cannot fulfill your Christian calling without hunger and thirst for righteousness. How hungry and thirsty are we for the spiritual things of God? We must keep coming to the table. God will see that it's filled.
