Ashes Capsule-Mat5:6

Math 5:6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
      for they will be filled

 

Thought 1:In this world of” Survival of the fittest “competetion and selfishness,righteousness seems to be a forgotten word. Righteousness is the state of being RIGHT with God,walking uprightly and with a good conscience which is reflected by your deeds.

Isaiah says ”all our righteous acts are like filthy rags”.The Scripture talks about many righteous people.God looks for righteous people.Being Righteous is not being religious.

The Master in the sermon on the mount says,Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,who wont compromise on being unrighteous but will go to any extent even to sacrifice many things to be righteous,to live a righteous life.

 

Thought 2:The reward is satisfaction.They Will be filled said the Lord.A satisfaction beyond measure.Many a times we feel that we cannot make it.Cheer up christian traveler.The Bible says the Lord Jesus became our righteousness as He hung on that cross and rose again.When you long for righteousness,you long for the Lord.You long for Him in your walking,sleeping,daily living.When we long for Him,His righteousness become ours and we will be filled with the presence of the Lord.

 

 

Introspection

1)Have you ever thought about what being righteous is?How much God values righteousness

2)Have you ever realized that the greatest inheritance you can leave for your children is living a righteous life and devil is constantly working for you to become unrighteous

 

Application

1)Learn from the bible whose lives are termed as “righteous”

2)Memorize the following verse

Psalm 37:25 I was young and now I am old,
       yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
       or their children begging bread
