Can't get enough

The more God the Father gives, do we want more?
Do we acknowledge all of His benefits now? Psalm 103:1-6
Do we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us? James 4:8
Do we forgive others their sins against us so that the Father can forgive us? Matthew 6:12; Mark 11:25
Do we submit to Him and resist the devil? James 4:7
Do we cleanse our hands and purify our hearts? James 4:8
Do we understand that He has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in the Lord Jesus Christ? Ephesians 1:3
Do we realize that God the Father has planned for us to be like His Son, Jesus? Romans 8:29
Can we accept that those He planned to be like His Son, He also called; and those He called, He also made right with Him; and those He made right, He also glorified? Romans 8:29-30
If the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit 2 Corinthians 13:14 aren't first in our desires, Exodus 20:3; 1 John 5:21 are They second?
What do we think about when we wake up and when we go to sleep?
Are They continually in our thoughts? Isaiah 26:3
Life can be full of stress, stressors, and responsibilities.
Maybe wholesome and spiritual relief is found in the Lord, above all else.
Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
Can we ever get enough?
The New Testament's Paul wrote that he counted everything that he was and had accomplished as garbage so that he could gain the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:7-8
And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:9-11
Can we feel Paul's desire to get more because he couldn't get enough?
Can we also say, "Father, the more I know You and what You've given through the Lord Jesus Christ, the more of You I want"?
Jesus answered, "If people love Me, they will obey My teaching. My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them." John 14:23
If we love Jesus and obey Him, John 14:15; Hebrews 5:9 to have God the Father and the Son come and live with us sounds like a wonderful, divine benefit.
This can be part of us getting enough of the Lord to satisfy our hunger and thirst for righteousness. Psalm 42:1-2; Isaiah 55:1; Matthew 5:6
