Matthew 5:6
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.”
As we continue our series on the beatitudes today we look at one which I believe is hard for most of us to understand in today’s world. Bless are those who hungry and thirst. I not for sure that we really understand what it means to hungry and thirst with fast food at our call and water supply is at a all time high with hundreds of different brands being sold today. I think that if you have experienced this it gives you a greater understanding of what Jesus is sharing in the verse. That intense desire for food and water is what I would like to focus on today. Are we really craving Godly living today?
