Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6

Thoughts: We are not merely to give intellectual assent to Christ.  We are not merely to be interested in Christ.  This is a challenge for us.  We are to long for Christ as a starving person longs for food.  We are to long for Christ and his holiness and justice like a person in the desert longs for water.  We are not asked to be a half Christian, but to be all in.
     We are not called to hunger and thirst for the world's improvement or the other side's political improvements.  We are called to hunger and thirst for our own righteousness.

Prayer: Lord, may I want what you want.  May I will what you will.  Give me grace to hunger for more of you.  Give me a thirst for you the Living Water.
