Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness
I was reading Enos this morning and noticed that he said his soul hungered. In the scriptures, Christ says blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness. I then wondered if I felt that way. I realized there are times when I do, but more often I don't. I guess that could be good or bad. If I just have no desire to fill my life with the things of God, then that is like only having an appetite for junk food. But if I am constantly nourishing myself with the things of God, then I won't be hungry for them. When I was pregnant with Matthew, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I was put on a special diet to regulate my blood sugar. The diet involved eating foods from certain categories at certain times of day. I followed the diet pretty strictly, and for 3 months, I was not hungry. I don't remember feeling a single hunger pang during that entire time. My body was constantly being nourished by good food, so it never asked for more. I think the gospel can be like that. If we partake of Godly things regularly, we don't have to hunger for them because we are being filled on a regular basis. I like that thought.
