HUNGERING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. (Matt. 5:6). Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness are filled with a longing desire to become Christlike in character, to take on His image, to keep the way of the Lord, and to do justice and judgement. We should ever cultivate an earnest desire for the righteousness of Christ. No earthly wants should attract and divert the mind to such a degree that we should not experience this soul hunger to possess the characteristics of Christ... The soul hunger will be satisfied when our hearts are emptied of pride, vanity, and selfishness; for faith will then take possession of the promises of God, and Christ will supply the vacuum and abide in the heart. There will be a new song in the mouth, for the word will be fulfilled, A new heart also will I give you... Without Christ the hunger and thirst of the soul would remain unsatisfied. The feeling of want, the craving after something not temporal, not tainted with earthliness and commonness, could never satisfy the soul. The mind must grasp something higher and purer than anything that can be found in this world..(FTH) By. O. Steel
