"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" (Matthew 5:6).
I don't usually like being hungry, so much so that I used to eat my pancakes a little raw because I was too hungry to wait for them to finish cooking. Esau was in the same a boat as me. He was hungry, too hungry for lentil soup to care very much about his birthright.
When we are hungry, all we can focus on is food. When we are spiritually hungry, God becomes the primary focus of our life.
I want to be hungry. I want to be thirsty. I want my whole life to be so stretched out after God and his righteousness that I'll get more than my fill of him.
