ADAR 13
Insatiable
“Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they shall be
filled.” (Mat 5:6)
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, 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 all praise to our Elohim; He satisfies the hungry soul (Ps 107:9). We are to “taste and see that Yahweh is good”
(Ps 34:8), and the more that we feed on Him,
the more we will be satisfied, and the more we will be filled. 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 AMPC, emphasis mine)
“With
long life I satisfy him, And show him My deliverance.” (Ps 91:16)
