“You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.”
Matthew 5:6 The Message (MSG)
You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
Psalm 63:1;4-5 New International Version (NIV)
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
My tears have been my food day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
Psalm 42:1-3 (NIV)
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice
and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander
of every kind. Like newborn babies,
crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
1 Peter 2:1-3 (NIV)
Jesus said, “I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.
John 6:35 (MSG)
Jesus answered, “If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for
a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water.”
Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever.
The water I give will be an artesian
spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.”
John 4:10;13-14 (MSG)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Matthew 5:6 (NIV)
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100 (NIV)
Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Psalm 34:8 (NIV)
