Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Physical hunger and thirst are natural in a healthy person. It shows health, it is real, intense, can cause pain, can drive a man…

This is a longing that endures and is never completely satisfied on this side of eternity. We see Christians hungering for many things: power, authority, success, comfort, happiness – but how many hunger and thirst for righteousness?

Jesus promised to fill the hungry; to fill them with as much as they could eat. This is a strange filling that both satisfies us and keeps us longing for more.

Application

When was the last time you were in hunger and thirst for righteousness? What are you hungry and thirsty for? Pray through it.
