“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matthew 5:6 NRSV
There will be days you will want to eat every donut, chip, or snack you can find, and still want MORE! Jesus teaches those who desire and pursue God, will be filled with God. Remember that old saying, you are what you eat? Whatever you worship and love, you become. Whatever you chase and pursue, eventually you will catch or either pay the price of the pursuit. It reminds me of Isaiah’s prophecy, “But you who forsake the Lord...shall eat, but will be hungry; shall drink, but will be thirsty,” (Isaiah 65:11,13). We are living in the days where no one is ever satisfied or content. No matter how much we obtain or take, its never enough. Many are chasing the wrong things, while Jesus still cries out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in Me drink...Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water,” (John 7:37-38). How’s that heart of yours? What is it filled with? The evidence of the heart can always be found in what the mouth says, and what the hands are doing. May we be filled with His Righteousness!
With Much Love,
Pastor Chris
