"The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the stomach of the wicked shall be in want."
Proverbs 13:25
Does this mean that godly people will never go hungry? I don't think so. Jesus told of the rich man, an ungodly man, who "fared sumptiously every day," while the beggar (who went to Paradise) starved (Luke 16:19-20). The Apostle Paul knew how to be hungry, but he had learned contentment (Phil. 4:11-12). I think this is the point: Sin never satisfies. One bite demands another. Sin is addictive and is always hungry for more, which leads to more sin. But the righteous are satisfied with what God provides, and are not always striving for more.
Today's Thought: The wise man is content with God's provision.
Have a satisfied day. Love you.
