DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 2:1-32; Micah 4:9-5:15; Romans 11:1-12
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6
Righteousness is doing what is right, doing what God intended us to do. As a thirsty man in a desert craves for water to quench his parched lips, so the people of God should hunger and thirst for righteousness to quench their parched souls. The pursuit of righteousness is really a seeking after Christ as He is our Righteousness. The closer we draw to Him the more like Him we will be and the longings of our heart will then be truly satisfied. —Paul Young
Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you,
Hallelu, Hallelujah. —Karen Lafferty
