Hunger and Thirst

(From the mind of he)

The Bible says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness." When I look at my own life and compare it with this verse I see that I sometimes hunger and thirst after righteousness, but not 100% of the time. Zaba demonstrates what true hunger and thirst looks like in a physical way.
When we are eating he is always there. He wants the food we eat so badly. We don't feed him our food and he is not happy about that. He barks and whines when he can't have it. We have started putting him in his crate when we eat because of his persistence. I don't know where this desire for our food comes from because I don't believe he has ever been feed people food. I believe it comes natural for him because of his sense of smell. He can tell that people food is something good due to the smell.
To connect my line of thought I will go with this. We were originally created to worship God. Due to the fall our natural desires have changed. We have to fight the world and the distractions and temptations that come with it, and be active in our hunger and thirst for righteousness. I've learned that if I do nothing then I don't grow. I need to follow the example of Zaba and his diligence. I need to be as hungry for God's word and His presence as my dog is for my food. We have to restrain him or he will get the food. I need to have that drive. I believe that drive only comes from prayer.
