Blessed Are…, Matthew 5:6

Matthew 5:6 (NKJV): Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

Those who thirst for righteousness are going to look for The Truth. They are the ones who will search until they see what they need to do to be Righteous in God’s Eyes. They are the ones who will be obedient to what He tells them to do. They are not going to buy any type of nonsense from people who will try to lead them away from what God’s expectations are.

We see today, many who try to tell us what God will and will not accept, that does not line up with His Word. It’s as if they are trying to tell Him that He needs to accept them even if His Standards are different that what they teach.

We would have to ask them simply, “Would you want someone telling you who will be with you, even if it’s not what you want around you?” In other words, do you want someone who offends you to be forced on you? Then why do you expect God to do that? Essentially, His Word tells us what He expects if we are to be part of His Family, not what we are forcing.”

If we seek righteousness for what God wants, then we need to search His Words. He outlines what it means to be righteous. What we find is that we fall short of His Righteousness. He is the one who provided the way for us to be righteous. It is through His Son Jesus.

Do you want to be filled with Righteousness today? Then follow Jesus. We will be filled through Him.
