We must continually eat and drink, or die. Too much hunger or too much thirst is a terrible thing, but a certain amount is good. God created man and the animals with hunger as part of their nature, and a wise provision it was too. Without the urge of hunger, food would not be taken, and death by starvation would ensue. Even intelligent man would soon vanish from the earth. He eats what he likes and because he is hungry. And so by nature he eats, in general, that which sustains life. By and large, hunger and thirst are good. They drive men to eat and drink, and so to live.
But notice our promise text: "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Here is a real blessing, a spiritual blessing. Without a spiritual hunger and thirst no one will ever be filled. It is blessed to have this divine hunger. Jesus said, "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him (John 6:44
). Then, speaking of this God-implanted thirst for God and righteousness, He continues, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink (John 7:37
).
What does this promise mean to you, to me? The real question is, Are we hungry? Are we thirsty? If we are, we shall be filled.
Are you hungry?Come and eat,
The Bread of Heaven see;
Are you thirsty?Come and drink,
The Word of God is free.
MEDITATION PRAYER: "Oh that men would praise the Lord. . . . For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness (Psalms 107:8
, 9
).
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6
).
Have you ever seen anyone really hungry? In some parts of this earth such people may be seen every day. Millions of them have been hungry all their lives and are hungry at this very moment. Hollow-eyed, they hold out their hands in earnest appeal for something to eat.

Success
Success is being friendly
When another needs a friend
Its in the cheery words you speak
Not in the coins you lend
Success is not alone in skill
Nor deeds of daring great
Its in the roses that you plant
Beside your garden gate
Success is in the way you walk
The paths of life each day
Its in the little things you do
And in the things you say
Success is in the glad hello
You give your fellow man
Its in the laughter of your home
And all the joys you plan
Success is not in getting rich
Or rising high to fame
Its not alone in winning goals
Which all men hope to claim
Its in the man you are each day
Through happiness or care
Its in the joyful words you speak
And in the smile that you wear
Its in the children whom you love
And all they learn from you
Success but shows your character
In everything you do
