Sample of Daily Encounter by Dick Innes

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6, NIV).

How true is the saying that what you see is what you get! As Steve Goodier in his book, Are You Living on the Past? shared how both the vulture and hummingbird fly over the same desert. The vulture sees rotting flesh. The hummingbird sees colorful desert plants.

What we hunger for and thrive on is what we look for and find. Frederick Langbridge put it this way: “Two men look out the same prison bars, one sees mud and the other stars.”

If we hunger for evil, that’s what we’ll find. If for good, that’s what we’ll find, If for illicit love, that’s what we’ll find, If for pure love, that’s what we’ll find, If for righteousness, that’s what we’ll find, and If we hunger for God, he is what we will find!

Suggested prayer: “Dear God, please give me a pure heart so I will always hunger and seek after what is pure, what is true, what is right, and after you. Gratefully, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
