Notes:
Who does the teaching? 

Ps 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
The meek are ones who are going to hunger and thirst for Gods divine instructions to us, which is very beneficial for us.
We know without his direction in life we will fail him

We have to believe his words when he says:
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
We have to have faith in his words, because without that:
Heb 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him”

I always like to show you in the scriptures what something means.
In Ex. 33 Moses had a tent outside the main camp grounds and there he would meet with the Lord God face to face (vs 20 says you can’t do that and live) and God would speak to him, and God said to Moses that he has found grace in him.

But this wasn’t enough for Moses, because he says in:   
Ex 33:13-14
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
How does God show us his ways?  By his words.
And once we learn his ways, he gives us rest.

Heb 3:7-11
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

Ps 94:12-13
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

This is what Moses wanted:
Ps 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Ps 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
Ps 119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
The Living Bible says: “Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word.”

Heb 4:15 This High Priest (Jesus) of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.

Ps 107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Isa 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
When we are thirsty, our children will receive blessing also.

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
If we “come” to him and “believe” those are the two main words.
Coming is to repent of the old life of sin and rebellion, and submit to the Lord.
Believing is to totally trust in him.
If we do these two we will be hungry and thirsty.

What does it mean?

Hunger and thirst after “righteousness” just plainly means, being right with God.
And how do we know what’s being right with God, is by reading and believing his words.

If you’re not born again we don’t have Gods righteousness, because his word says so in:
Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Jer 17:9 "The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?

What’s right for us without the Lord is:
Power, no matter how we get it and with that comes money.
Glory, being popular, accepted.
Material things.
Pleasure.

John 7:37-39
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Living water is Jesus coming out of you, called being filled with the Holy Spirit.

The wicked are hungry too.

Satan didn’t have that hunger and thirst for being like God.
The Lord said that the devil wanted to be like him.
Isa 14:13-15
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
(All you hear here is “I” and we’re just like satan.)
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
