Matthew 5:6 NASB

“ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”

As Jesus sat and taught the crowds, he extended an invitation to come and experience the satisfaction that can only be found through a heart made right with God.

Here Jesus is speaking of so much more than a mere compliance with rules, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is beckoning the crowds to passionately desire the evidence of God’s will and His ways in their lives.

This invitation of the Lord remains as valid today as it was that glorious day on the mount, “Come to Me with hunger, come to Me with thirst and be met by the abundant grace of God, allow Me to satisfy your every appetite, engage with righteousness and grow in the  experience of God’s transformative power at work in and through you !!!

My prayer is that our lives would be increasingly characterised by an insatiable yearning for God’s righteousness, drawing those around us to the wellspring of grace and the satisfaction found in knowing Christ alone. The hungry, thirsty soul satisfied through the blessed pursuit of righteousness !!!
