Bible Texts: Ps.42:1, Ps.14:34, Matt.5:6, Rom.12:1, Heb.12:1-2, Rom.12:21, Rom.8:1, Eph.4:22-24, 2Cor.5:17, Rom.6:1-2, Is.51:1-2, Gal.3:13, 2Cor.9:8
Today, we shall be focusing on what you and I must thirst and hunger for as we journey this path of becoming the good and godly husbands.
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God (Ps.42:1)
The same way you thirst after material things and have personal expectations is the same way God wants you to thirst after Him. David says, “as the deer pants for water so does his soul thirst for God”. David, the husband like you and I, always wanted to please God sincerely because of his love for God (Rom.5:5). It is the same desire that God wants you to have: God wants you to thirst after Him.
As the husbandman, what you pursue comes to you, and what you thirst after determines how much you are willing to give to quench the thirst. You must understand that your thirst to do what the Bible commands has an eternal impact on your life, the lives of your wife, children, and in the marketplace. And to that extent, you must pursue righteousness and live your life to please God in all things.
Hearken to me, ye that FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, ye that seek the Lord, look unto the rock whence ye are hewn and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father and unto Sarah that bare you…….(Is.51:1-2).
Abraham was a husband like you and I. What distinguishes him is his righteous walk with God (Gen.18:19). And by redemption you and I have become the seeds of Abraham (Gal.3:10-13). Your hallmark as the husbandman is holiness and righteousness.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled (Matt.5:6)
You cannot be empowered to thirst after God and do righteously if you are not helped by the Holy Spirit (Jn.15:5, Philp.2:13). You must call for the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit to empower your soul, spirit and body to yield to righteous living because without Him you can do nothing.
But how do I thirst for God and pant after what is right?
