Verse of the Day
A verse from an earlier day, with its reflection and prayer.
Hunger for righteousness
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
Today's insight
Physical hunger tells you that your body needs food to live, and your soul has a similar longing. When you "hunger and thirst after righteousness," you are desiring what is good, true, and right before God with that same deep urgency. The promise is certain for everyone who seeks: "they shall be filled."
Reflect
What appetite is occupying most of your thoughts and energy today, and is your heart truly longing for what is right?
Prayer
Lord, give me a deep hunger and thirst to live in a way that honors You. Where my desires have drifted toward things that cannot satisfy, renew my heart and fill me with Your righteousness today. Amen.
