6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
This chapter is loaded, I love it! You could spend days writing about several pieces of this chapter. All of the beatitudes are simple yet say so much. I chose this one because I want to be someone who is hungry to be close to God and to have that bring me the peace that cannot be bought.
Its so easy to get caught up in money and the treadmill having some of it creates. The pressure to continue to earn to sustain the lifestyle built by having certain things-nice house, new cars, nicer motor home, newer trailer, better phones for the kids, faster race car. While I don't feel Gina and I are too materialistic if you look around an argument can be made against that statement. Sometimes the things we have can create pressure and detract from my relationship with God. I want to make sure I keep a hunger for being close to him and in turn this verse tells me I will be more satisfied than I can get any other way.
