Message of the Week
Fed Up Or Filled?
There are many people in the
world today who are "fed up" but
not ‘‘filled.’’ and there is a vast
difference between being “fed up”
and being “filled ” Getting “fed up”
on thrills of one sort or another is to
suffer serious discomfort. But being
"filled” makes for comfortable sat
isfaction.
r
~ ~Many people today are “fed up”
but not filled. They suffer from acute
spiritual indigestion. They have
feasted on this thrill and that thrill;
this excitement and that excitement.
They have tried this scheme and
that scheme. They have run with
this crowd and they have had fun
there. Yet they are not satisfied.
They have tried to find happiness
through bodily pleasure only to reap
corruption. They have tried to find
happiness in owning things only to
discover that they didn’t want what
they thought they wanted. They
have sought happiness through the
will to know-only to realize that just
to know does not make life full and
complete. Many people in the world
today are “fed up.” but not filled.
For people in this perturbed cond
ition-Jesus has an answer. In
Matthew 5:6 he says, “Blessed are
they which do hunger and thirst
after righteousness; for they shall
be filled.”
The Master is telling us here that
if you would be filled instead of “fed
up,” we must seek righteousness;
we must seek goodness; we must
hunger for righteousness.
“Hunger and thirst” are strong
words and Jesus used them deliber
ately. When a man is hungry all of
his energies are directed toward
getting food. When a man is thirsty
nothing is important except water.
So that when we want righteousness
as badly as we want food and drink,
when we want goodness as much as
we want bread and water-we shall
be filled. Then and only then will life
be organized around a significant
and worthy hunger.
Somewhere I saw a big billboard
with the picture of a man smoking.
Underneath the picture of the man
who had smoke coming out of his
mouth there was a sign which said
“I would walk a mile for a Camel.”
Now when we would walk a mile or a
second mile for the truth; when the
mile seems insignificant beside the
satisfaction that truth yields a hun
gry spirit; when we will walk a mile
to make a wrong right because we
are starved for righteousness; when
we will walk a mile, or a second mile
to forgive someone who has hurt us
because we are hungry for goodness,
we are not far from the Kingdom of
God.
If you would be filled instead of
“fed up” with life, seek goodness,
hunger and thirst for righteousness.
“Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness; for
they shall be filled.”
