DAILY READINGS: Exodus 11:1-12:20; Psalm 44:1-26; Acts 5:12-42

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6

Physically, we’re quick to satisfy our hunger and thirst. Can the same be said spiritually? Do we treasure the Word of God more than our necessary food (Job 23:12)? Are we seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matt. 6:33)? Are we setting our affections on things above (Col. 3:2)? Are we confessing sin in our lives and being cleansed from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9)? Are we daily digesting His words (Jer. 15:16)? How we answer these questions is a good indication of whether we’re truly hungering and thirsting after righteousness. —E. V.

Within the sacred page I seek thee Lord,
My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word. —Mary A. Lathbury
