Lent - Day 14: Blessed are Those Who Hunger and Thirst

 

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

For they will be filled.

Matthew 5:6

Hunger and thirst are powerful forces in the human body, reminding us of physical needs necessary for our very existence.  Bread and water are two of the first needs we take care of when we wake each morning.  We do so almost without conscious thought.  Do we approach our spiritual lives with the same urgency?

Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.  Opening up our hearts for the work of the Holy Spirit is essential to our daily Christian walk.  We have no righteousness of our own.  We must be transformed into the character of Christ, so that the world sees His righteousness and His alone.

Fill My Cup, Lord
