In the Antarctic summer of 1908-9, Sir Ernest Shackleton and three companions attempted to travel to the South Pole from their winter quarters. They set off with four ponies to help carry the load. Weeks later, their ponies dead, rations all but exhausted, they turned back toward their base, their goal not accomplished.

Altogether, they trekked 127 days. On the return journey, as Shackleton records in The Heart of the Antarctic, the time was spent talking about food — elaborate feasts, gourmet delights, sumptuous menus. As they staggered along, suffering from dysentery, not knowing whether they would survive, every waking hour was occupied with thoughts of eating. 

What is your obsession?  What drives you during your waking hours?  Is it your family, relationships, or work?  Your obsession is your motivation for life.

Jesus stated that the one blessed of God is that individual whose obsession rests in being right with God.  What about your obsession?  Are you concerned with being right with God, morally, spiritually, and emotionally or is it something else?

God has promised that he will satisfy your hunger, if He is your obsession.  Is He?

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied.

Matthew 5: 6
