Adar 13
Insatiable
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they
shall be filled.” (Mat 5:6 ISR)
Noah
Webster defines “insatiable” as “incapable of being satisfied or appeased; very
greedy; as an insatiable appetite or desire; insatiable thirst”[1]. Someone who is addicted to
a drug (ANY drug) will have an insatiable appetite for that drug he/she is addicted to.
This individual will do whatever is necessary to satisfy the craving for
this drug, legal or illegal. And that is the nature of an addiction; it
is a bondage that is difficult to break free from.
And
yet, how hungry and greedy are we for the things of our Elohim, for His
presence, for His Word, for His shalom,
for the righteousness that only comes through obedience to Him? This type of hunger is
a blessing from our Creator, and one that He longs to satisfy, for He is the only One that can.
“And יהושע said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall
not get hungry at all, and he who
believes in Me shall not get thirsty
at all.” (John
6:35 ISR, emphasis mine)
The things of this world are fleeting, they don’t last, and they
certainly don’t satisfy. Addictions,
whether they are to drugs, alcohol, food, or even relationships, can destroy
lives, for they are bondages meant to keep us ensnared. But praise YAH for Messiah Yeshua; He satisfies the hungry soul, and He
came to set us free! The more that we
feed on Him, the Living TORAH, the
more we will be satisfied, the more we will be filled, and the more His image will be recreated in us. Oh, that we would learn to be greedy, to be possessive
and “famished” concerning our Creator, never satisfied with anything less than His
holy presence, His holy Word, His holy touch …
“But whoever takes a drink of the
water that I will give him shall never,
no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall
become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within
him unto (into, for) eternal life.”
(John 4:14 Am p,
emphasis mine)
“With long life will I satisfy
him and show him My salvation.” (Ps 91:16 Amp)
