SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:6 – Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
COMMENTARY: We are invited to, have access to and can freely attend the banquet table of God’s presence. Too often, though, we are so full of the world’s junk food that we’re not even hungry for the things of God. We are spiritually malnourished and it will lead to death.
Another verse for you today: When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty. (Jeremiah 15:16)
REFLECTION: In your life, what are some things that promise to satisfy us but in reality poison you? List the sources of poison (or at least not nourishing spiritually/emotionally/relationally) around you. Has there been a time when God’s truth and grace were a “joy and a delight to your heart”? Where, when and how can you make better selections about what you feast on? Use Psalm 56:3-4 as a prayer guide today.
