How many things have you tried to be satisfied in your life? We all try so many things to fill an empty void. I can certainly testify to this. Been there, done it. I thank God for His mercy. Some people go their whole lifetime without realizing that this void can only be filled by Jesus Christ. You can have all the money in the world. Go on all the vacations that you have on your checklist. Drive a fancy car, and live in a mansion. You can still come up empty.
The chaos in our world, the chaos that may be in your life, may be the very thing that God is using to bring you to a deeper relationship with him.
That's what a disciple is. Someone who is kingdom minded and after the things that satisfy God's heart. The things that break his heart, should be the very things that break ours. But if you choose to just stay on the surface, and not go deeper, your eyes won't be open to kingdom things. To have your spiritual eyes be open, and some of your questions be answered, the Bible tells us in Matthew 5: 1, "Blessed are the poor in spirit for they shall see the kingdom." This whole sermon was given to the disciples to take them to the next level. Just like God desires to do with those of us who say we believe. He desires to show us the secret things. I like to call them nuggets.
Verse 6, " Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Being hungry to please God comes with such a beautiful promise. You won't have to search after other other things, or substances to fill the emptiness. Because you will be satisfied. He will fill you.
For Your glory Lord
