Oh, that sounds so good. It's so appealing to our flesh. No price to pay. No more hungering. We can just coast along to whatever destiny the wind caries us. But who is the prince of the power of the air?You are hungry when you don't have food. Once you have a meal you are no longer hungry. Right? So you hunger after righteousness when you don't have it. But once you are righteous you are no longer hungry for it. Right? How many verses do you have to read that say believers are righteous by faith before you are prepared to believe it? If God has made you righteous then what exactly are you hungering for?
Why seek the Kingdom of God when you are already in it? Didn't Jesus say that the Kingdom of God is within every believer? If you are seeking it, have you left it back on the bus home from town?
I wonder if God shakes His head at us sometimes when we cannot believe something so clearly written in the New Testament so that it stands out like the nose on your face?
Of course we study to show ourselves approved of God. It's not because we are unapproved because we are approved in Christ, but we study to learn how it can be shown as a testimony in our lives.
Oh! You missed out the reason why happy are the ones who hunger and thirst after righteousness BECAUSE THEY WILL BE FILLED! Now that puts a whole different meaning on it from what you were trying to say. Am I right, or am I right?
Are you right, or are you right? I'll take the option you didn't list, that God is true and all of us are...well you know the verse. Yes we will be satisfied, but I'm not so sure it is until we see face to face. There is a contentment that will come in this walk, but it is not the contentment of complacency, it is the contentment of trust. How can we be satisfied when we are still veiled, and not completely with our love, and the great wedding has not occurred? I question the love and passion of anyone who is satisfied to see through a dim glass.
