How to get good things from the Lord is the focus of this Action Power Devotional for today. 

Surely there are good things with the Lord. Another truth is that He is ever ready to give these good things to His children (you and I).

How to get good things from the Lord: Why you don’t get it 

But how come some of these good things are not getting to you? I believe that’s probably the question on your mind as you read this. I want you to read the following inspired statement of Mary after she conceived the Savior.

Luke 1:53

[53]He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty.

She said, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, that God always fill the hungry with good things.

Hunger and a thirst are needed to get things from God 

The Bible passage above and the inspired statement of Mary shows hunger and a thirst are needed to receive these good things from God. Blessed are those who thirst for righteousness, they shall be filled.

Agreed, the inspired statement by Mary can be interpreted literally to mean God gives good things like food to those who are hungry but you and I know that scriptural statements like that means more than the literal meanings.

Bible passages of hunger and thirst 

The hunger in that statement is more than the food hunger. The thirst is more than the water hunger. 

It is the hunger and thirst for righteousness. As we can see from the Bible passages below: 

Isaiah 55:1

[1]“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.

Matthew 5:6

[6]Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

How to get good things from the Lord: Check your hunger level 

If you truly want to get good things from the Lord, you need to check your hunger and thirst level. Take a decision in your heart to seek more of God, His kingdom and His will for your life.
