Beatitude 4
October 17, 2024
Hunger and thirst are life sustaining desires for life. Food and water are necessities. Jesus teaches 9 beatitudes, what we need for a blessed life. He states that we need to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to be right with God. Yet we know we can’t measure up. But we can be fully forgiven by accepting Jesus and his sacrifice. He then drapes us in His robe of righteousness.
He gives us His power over the desires of the flesh, what the world says satisfies. Have you learned that you can change what you have a taste for? I Timothy 4: 7 Train yourself for godliness. If something is not good for you, substitute something else. Honey for sugar, water for soda. We grow in the appetite we feed. True in our Christian walk as well.
