飢餓的得飽足�

經文: ��「因祂使心裡渴慕的人得以知足，使心裡飢餓的人得飽美物。」（詩篇一○七︰9）�

心中有渴慕、有需要，這是正常的，也是很好的事，而且越強烈越好。無論我們的慾望有多強烈，只要是靈�的需要，上帝都會滿足我們，且讓我們大大張口，上帝就要大大充滿。若我們自滿自義，覺得什麼都不缺，這不是好的光景。渴望得到更多恩典，心中鬱積了未得滿足的需求，這種心頭如同火燒的吶喊，這種有如撕裂心腸的痛苦，你可曾經歷體驗過﹖蒙福的靈總是渴望那上好的福份，他要用那說不出來的歎息，迫切祈求那最美好的事物。�

飢餓絕對不是很好受的感覺，然而那些飢渴慕義的人有福了，他們必得飽足。上帝要給他們精緻的靈，不是粗糙的食品，因為耶和華自己就是那天上的嗎哪。�

來吧，不要因為心中有願望未得滿足而煩燥憂悶，讓我們看看詩篇作者，這位合上帝心意的僕人，他渴望見到上帝的面，那時的心聲是︰「上帝的兒女要因祂的美善而讚美祂，因祂奇妙的作為而稱頌上帝！」�


Hunger Satisfied

Scripture: "For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness" (Psalm 107:9).

It is well to have longings, and the more intense they are the better. The LORD will satisfy soul-longings, however great and all-absorbing they may be. Let us greatly long, for God will greatly give. We are never in a right state of mind when we are contented with ourselves and are free from longings. Desires for more grace and groanings which cannot be uttered are growing pains, and we should wish to feel them more and more. Blessed Spirit, make us sigh and cry after better things and for more of the best things!

Hunger is by no means a pleasant sensation. Yet blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness. Such persons shall not only have their hunger relieved with a little food, but they shall be filled. They shall not be filled with any sort of rough stuff, but their diet shall be worthy of their good LORD, for they shall be filled with goodness by Jehovah Himself.

Come, let us not fret because we long and hunger, but let us hear the voice of the psalmist as he also longs and hungers to see God magnified. "Oh, that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men."
