Matthew 5:6 Blessed
are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be
filled. What does the Bible mean to hunger and thirst after righteousness?
Well, when you are hungry or thirsty, that is all that you can think about. You
may be playing baseball or over playing at a friend’s house. But when you get
really thirsty, that is all that you can think about. You just have to do
something about it. And then isn’t it satisfying to get a long drink of some
cool water? Or take that first bite of a sandwich? It just hits the spot,
doesn’t it? And that is the way we should be with righteousness. We should long
after righteousness just like a thirsty boy longs for a tall glass of iced tea.
We should long after righteousness just like a hungry girl can’t stop thinking
about supper. If we really want righteousness, we will just want to go after it!
And if we do, God calls us blessed.
