Spiritual hunger presupposes a spiritual capacity. Such hunger originates with God (John 6:44). This hunger is, in fact, God Himself hungering for Himself through our spirit on our behalf. It is the call of God for the truth for which we hunger and is at the same time a divine guarantee of its satisfaction when this hunger is not diverted into other channels and thereby destroyed. "Blessed are they that hunger—for they shall be filled." The earnest seeker after the God of the Word as well as the word of God, can expect to find in these notes "treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places" (Isa. 45:3)."
This is a note from a study by Walter Buettler. God seeks to see himself through our desires, passions and hunger. Our desire to seek righteousness is a holy convocation in His eyes. Truth in the inner parts keeps us stirred to righteousness. Have a blest day and be stirred.
