Blessed Hunger

“A worker’s appetite works for him, For his hunger urges him on.” (Proverbs 16:26,NASB95)I’ve noticed through the years that the best employees are those who need the money!These employees show up on time, work diligently through the day, complain little, findnew and better methods, and show up again the next day. I believe this is why God’spattern of calling Old Testament Prophets was chiefly to call them from a “working-man’s” world. Amos was a fig-picker and Elisha worked in the fields. In the NewTestament the pattern was fishermen and other’s of the “paycheck-to-paycheck” class.Those who have to work to eat will keep working when the going gets tough.In the ministry, one of the worst things that can happen is for a minister to havesomething “to fall back on.” If he can teach, fix cars, work in sales, build something, orcarry out any other gainful employment, he is likely to go there when the pressure is on.The one who has no place to turn will have to deal with the situation and work it out byworking through it.While there is some application in the work world, the place I really want to apply thisis in your own spiritual world. Are you spiritually hungry to the point that you run toGod for direction at every turn? Does your spiritual hunger urge you on when the devilis giving another option? Do you have a spiritual appetite that will cause you to long forGod like a deer pants for water?In the words of Jesus, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, forthey shall be satisfied” (Matthew 5:6 NASB95).In His Grace,Dr. Randy White___For today’s broadcast, click here.Our 90-Minute DVD on the Antichrist is FREE![fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=“yes” overflow=“visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=“1_1” background_position=“left top” background_color=“” border_size=“” border_color=“” border_style=“solid” spacing=“yes” background_image=“” background_repeat=“no-repeat” padding=“” margin_top=“0px” margin_bottom=“0px” class=“” id=“” animation_type=“” animation_speed=“0.3” animation_direction=“left” hide_on_mobile=“no” center_content=“no” min_height=“none”][add_to_cart=1450][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
