Happy Fortunate Matthew 5: 6 (NASB) “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. The word blessed in the Greek means. . . Spiritually prosperous

Blessed are those who hunger. . . Hunger: metaph. to crave ardently, to seek with eager desire

Blessed are those who thirst. . . Thirst: figuratively, those who are said to thirst who painfully feel their want of, and eagerly long for, those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, strengthened

Psalms 42: 1 - 2 (NLT) 1 As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. 2 I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?

Philippians 4: 8 b (NLV) Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Psalms 63: 1 (NIV) O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Hebrews 11: 6 (The Message) It's impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.

Shall be filled χορτασθη σονται Expresses the complete satisfaction of spiritual hunger and thirst. Overflowing satisfaction will be theirs!

John 10: 10 (AMP) The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

John 4: 1 - 15 (NLT) 1 Jesus knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John 2(though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them —his disciples did). 3 So he left Judea and returned to Galilee. 4 He had to go through Samaria on the way. 5 Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. 7 Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink. ” 8 He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. 9 The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and

I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink? ” 10 Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water. ” 11 “But sir, you don’t have a rope or a bucket, ” she said, “and this well is very deep. Where would you get this living water? 12 And besides, do you think you’re greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well?

How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed? ” 13 Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. 14 But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life. ” 15“Please, sir, ” the woman said, “give me this water! Then I’ll never be thirsty again, and I won’t have to come here to get water. ”

John 6: 35 (NLT) Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Psalms 63: 3 - 5 (NLT) 3 Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! 4 I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. 5 You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.
