The Word For You Today
Wednesday January 21
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Mt 5:6 NKJV
The fourth Beatitude
Righteousness is not an optional spiritual supplement; it’s a necessity for Christian living. It’s something you must desire as much as a starving man desires food and a thirsty man desires water. Are you hungry for more of Jesus? Do you have an appetite for His Word? Do you long to experience the kingdom of God? If so, Jesus says that you will be “filled.” He will give you more of Himself. When you are hungry for righteousness, He will impart to you the power of a righteous life—which means keeping God’s commandments and following the leading of the Holy Spirit day by day. The Lord will give you the power to say “no” to offers that are not right in His eyes. And He will give you the power to say “yes” to those things that are of eternal benefit and to manifest His power in right decisions, right actions, and right words spoken at the right times, in the right situations, for the right results. The Lord will fill you with the ability to be His agent at home, at school, in your place of business, in the political arena, and in church. When you hunger and thirst for righteousness, God will satisfy you with His presence, His power, and His peace. When you deeply and truly desire more of the Lord, you will receive more of the Lord to the point of being filled to overflowing. God keeps His promises, and He will keep this one also: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
