“I Will Hunger After Righteousness”
Today's Verse: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” - Matthew 5:6 (NASB)
When you’re hungry, that’s all you think about. Every commercial, every billboard, every fast food store calls out your name. It seems that food is all you can think about. When you finally do get to eat, it just seems to taste a little better when you are hungry.
Jesus promises that when we hunger after righteousness, we will be satisfied. Righteousness is a right standing with God or rightness. The only way we can live righteously is to live in unbroken fellowship with Christ. It is not about working more, or trying harder. Righteousness is the gift Jesus gave us on the cross. The Bible says that God put His righteousness in us!
Today as you pray, seek after God’s presence in your life today. Ask God to show you that the only true satisfaction in life is found in an intimate relationship with Him.
Sample Prayer:
Father, today help me to have a hunger for You. Help me to realize that you have put me in right standing by your death on the cross. Let me see that You have placed “rightness” within me. Today, help me to live like the person you have made me to be. I pray that I will seek after no other satisfaction than in my relationship with You.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
