Scripture

" Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."

Matthew 5:6

Observation

What are you hungry for? What we’re hungry for determines the life that we are going to live. If we’re hungry for money, we’ll spend our life chasing wealth. If we’re hungry for attention, we’ll spend our life chasing people’s approval. If we’re hungry for Jesus, we’ll spend our life chasing righteousness. We have comfort as Christian’s knowing that we don’t have to have it all figured out, but if we’re just hungry for righteousness the Lord will bless and fill us. 

Application

Knowing where our hunger leads us means we need to pay attention to what we crave. What we eat determines what we are going to continue to be hungry for. The music we listen to, entertainment we watch, content we intake on social media, and community we surround ourselves with will inevitably affect what we desire. What in your life are you hungry for that pulls you away from Jesus? Where in your life are you doing something else, when you could be spending time with Jesus? Be intentional this week to replace one of those habits with spending time with the Lord.

Prayer

Thank you Lord for being patient with us and honoring our hunger. Would you convict our hearts for what pulls us away from you and fill us with a passion for your word and desires. Help us to continue seeking after you. Thank you for always wanting the best for us. We love you so much Jesus. Amen.
