I've been thinking alot about hungering and thirsting lately. Part of that comes from getting acquainted with fasting the last month or so and part of it comes from understanding more of the depth of the command to hunger and thirst after righteousness.
I was listening to a song Sun oh Sun by War this morning. The lyrics say Sun blows my mind and it makes my tonsils dry. I have always liked to listen the song with an O instead of a U but I never could think of a way to make it fit. But tonsils being dry is a sign of being thirsty. So now I can explore the song some more. It clicked this morning however and I realized that one of the indicators of hunger and thirst is an awareness of what you are missing and recognizing your need. When we are called to hunger and thirst after righteousness it is the same thing. We recognize what we don't have and we understand that the only way to get what is missing is to get a big ole drink of righteousness.
Son oh Son I believe in you.
