When God Says …
“The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.” (Proverbs 27:7 KJV)
Talking about physical satiation and hunger, this passage states the fact - in a famish state one can eat anything in sight. On the other hand, even the finest dish there is, couldn't tempt a full stomach. This drives in a very important message to reflect on. It is not the desires of the gut the matter. Hunger and thirst in the physical realm are fleeting. It comes and goes. Filling it is only for temporal satisfaction.
Real fullness and true contentment come through seeking first and foremost the Kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33). Yes, that's in the spiritual realm. A hunger and a thirst for things above, which is being right with God through faith in Jesus, must be at the core of our being. The quenching power of the Spirit of God brings genuine lasting pleasure. The Lord Jesus described it like a spring of living water welling from within us to eternity (John 4:14). Resting in His finished work on the cross by grace through faith in Him, blessings of fullness will be upon us, as Lord Jesus declared: ““Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” (Matthew 5:6 ESV)
And I Say, AMEN!
